Traditional Greek Vegetarian Soutzoukakia: easy, quick, simple and absolutely delicious

Показать описание

I love Greek cuisine, A LOT..but most of it features meat and since I am not necessarily a meat lover, I often struggle finding Vegetarian recipes in this cuisine. Today I made the vegetarian version of Soutzoukakia which is initially a recipe featuring beef. The vegetarian version uses chickpeas, and all the prep work it takes is to wash and soak chickpeas for 12 hours/overnight, once you get past that, it is all easy to make with very simple steps and tastes so good you can't guess it took chickpeas to make it..coming from someone who doesn't necessarily like chickpeas.
