Greek Lentil Soup - How to make Fakes.

Fakes is a traditional staple of the Greek cuisine. This lentil soup is healthy, high in protein and iron, cheap to make and very comforting. Its definitely a trademark vegetarian Greek dish and we love it!

We always add vinegar, usually balsamic, and a sprinkle of dried oregano to our served bowl of Fakes - it's part of the excitement! It's also a good tip for any slow cooked dish, as acidity can be lost and vinegar or lemonia freshens up the flavour

Adding balsamic sounds great! Thank you.

My husband always added chunks of beef to his Fakes. Then he served it with balsamic vinegar and a big tablespoon of sour cream. Absolutely delicious!
