60 minutes
Lenten draniki with avocado paste is a delicate and aromatic dish inspired by Italian cuisine. The lightness of zucchini and potatoes, complemented by the freshness of dill and the spiciness of garlic, makes the draniki airy and crispy. The creamy avocado paste, with lemon juice and olive oil added, gives them a velvety taste with citrus notes. Vegetable chips made from beets and carrots add crunch and vibrant colors, while the 'salsa verde' sauce with herbs and sour cream finishes the composition with a light spiciness. This dish is perfect for those seeking harmony of flavors in a lenten version, and its stylish appearance makes it a decoration for any table.
