Armenian Apostolic Church fasting traditions

The Armenian Apostolic Church’s strict Lenten diet (Eastern Church practice) excludes meat, fish, poultry, dairy, and eggs ^[1]. Plant-based dishes that sustain this tradition include: lentil kufta (e.g., bulgur and potato kufteh), vospov kofte (lentil-based), fasoulia (green beans without meat), olive-oil pilafs (rice or bulgur pilaf), stuffed grape leaves with rice, hummus, muhammara, tabbouleh, plaki, mujadarra, and lentil soup ^[1]. These are all marked as suitable for the stricter Eastern Church Lenten diet ^[1].
