A few more days remain until spring is officially here. With Green Monday just around the corner, fields are bound to fill again with vegetarian picnic baskets and kites in the sky. That’s the tradition at least. This March 7, the Home for Cooperation (H4C) is preparing a lunchtime feast for those in Nicosia, serving up a Green Monday menu by its new cook Manolis Melissaris.

From 1pm to 4pm H4C will prepare a set menu inspired by the culinary habits of Green Monday, a day typically spent outdoors eating seafood and vegetables.

The day’s lunch menu will include lagana bread that is traditionally eaten on Green Monday, a parsley dip from the island of Syros, fish roe dip (taramosalata), lemony tahini, yellow split peas, seafood orzo, oven-baked beans in tomato sauce, grilled sardines and halva.

All of this for just €16.50 per person to celebrate the coming of spring and the first day of Lent in the Greek Orthodox calendar.
