On the small island of Thirisia, smack bang in the caldera of Santorini and a product of one of its larger eruptions, we came across some more examples of Greek vegetarian food.

Briam is a vegetable stew, akin to a Greek version of ratatouille, and a good choice for vegetarians so snap it up if you see it on the menu.

A fava bean casserole was also on offer from the bain marie self-service restaurant. Unlike every other version of this dish we tried in Greece, it came in a thin gravy base, rather than a tomato sauce with dill. I prefer the tomato version, but was pleased to find a variant on one of our favourite meals to break up the monotony.
