Greek Leeks and Rice Prasorizo


Greek leeks and rice is one of those dishes that is quite common here in Greece especially during the fasting period- nisteia (a period where Greeks do not consume most animal products for religious reasons). It is so delicious and comforting that I would not associate it with any type of “fasting”. Prasorizo is rich, creamy and sweet thanks to the caramelized leeks and honestly I could eat bowls and bowls of it! It’s like a vegan risotto. Of course if you are consuming cheese, feta is the perfect accompaniment.
