Recipe Pro-Tips
Use a good quality feta. I always recommend using an authentic greek feta, I love Kourella's, Mt Vikos or Aphrodite feta.
Use pressure cooked beans if you have trouble digesting beans. I absolutely love the eden foods brand as they are pressure cooked and soaked!
Recipe FAQS
Yes! You can sub in 3 homemade roasted red peppers.
Beans, bone broth and feta all add protein.
Most cheddar cheese is vegetarian, just make sure it does not have added rennet if this is a concern.

this recipe looks amazing but I can't see how one serving is over 2100 mg sodium. Is that right?
Kristi says
Thank you for flagging, my nutrition calculator was wrong. I just fixed it.

Blossom says
I've never tried bone broth before or this combination of foods, but it tastes so good. I paired it with high protein sourdough bread. The flavours are so rich, you could really eat this with any base- like rice for example. I'm trying to add more plant protein to my meals so this is definitely a favourite. I'll also be using this for school. I can't get over this website enough all the recipes are delicious.

Thanks so much for the sweet review blossom!
