Fakes

This traditional Greek lentil soup is simple in ingredients and preparation, but results in a dish that is packed with flavors. Characterized by its dense texture, next to brown or green lentils, the soup often incorporates onions, garlic, carrots, and occasionally puréed tomatoes.

Always served warm and sometimes topped with olive oil and vinegar, fakes is enjoyed as a nourishing winter meal and is usually accompanied by a few bread slices.
