Greek Style Steamed Vegetables With Lemon-Oil Dressing [Horta Vrasta]

By: Jo Rosas

Horta Vrasta is an easy recipe to liven up many vegetables. I found this recipe in a little church cookbook called Food Fit for Gods: A Guide to Greek Cuisine.
I have updated the original recipe as I believe it is preferable, to steam the vegetables instead. The dressing remains the same as in the original old Greek recipe. This recipe can be used for any of the following ingredients.

Ingredients
Spinach
Yellow squash or zucchini
Asparagus
Endive
Green beans
Green peppers
Cabbage
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Kale
Chicory
Dandelion greens

Instructions

  • Steam any of the above vegetables until tender.
  • Season lightly, then serve with olive oil and the juice of a lemon.
  • If you like, add fresh sliced onion rings.
