About Fakes

Fakes, or Greek lentil soup, is a hearty and nutritious dish rooted in the culinary traditions of Greece. Made primarily with brown lentils, olive oil, onions, garlic, tomatoes (or tomato paste), vinegar, and herbs like bay leaves or oregano, it offers a rich source of protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and folate. Lentils, the star ingredient, are low in fat, making them a heart-healthy choice. Olive oil adds beneficial monounsaturated fats, while the combination of vegetables contributes antioxidants to support overall health. Fakes is a plant-based dish, ideal for vegetarians and vegans, and can be enjoyed as a light meal or paired with crusty bread for added texture. However, one should be mindful of portion sizes and monitor added salt or oil to keep it aligned with dietary goals. Simple yet wholesome, this dish epitomizes the Mediterranean focus on balanced, nutritious meals.
