About Magiritsa
Magiritsa is a traditional Greek soup primarily made and enjoyed during Easter celebrations, often served after midnight on Holy Saturday. Its main components include lamb offal (such as liver and intestines), lettuce, green onions, dill, and rice, all simmered in a flavorful broth. The soup is typically finished with avgolemono—a mixture of eggs and lemon juice—which gives it a creamy texture and tangy taste. Magiritsa is relatively nutrient-dense, providing protein, iron, and B-vitamins from the lamb offal, as well as vitamins A, C, and K from the fresh greens. However, it can be high in cholesterol and saturated fats due to the organ meat, making moderation key for those managing heart health or cholesterol levels. This hearty soup is a comforting dish deeply rooted in Greek culinary tradition, symbolizing renewal and breaking the Lenten fast with its rich, restorative ingredients.
