This gold vanilla turmeric latte is a delicious and unique way to incorporate turmeric into your diet. Turmeric is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties and may even help reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Roasted Cod With Tomatoes And Olives
In this effortless one-skillet meal, cod fillets are simply pan-roasted basted in butter on the stovetop then gently finished in a moderate oven to guarantee even cooking and tender, flaky fish. The balance of buttery richness and bright acidity in the sauce complements the mild seafood.
Tzatziki Sauce (2 Cups)
Made with cucumber, yogurt, and garlic, comes straight from the Greek island of Paros. You ll love how easy and versatile this Greek sauce is, you can serve it with some pita chips and fresh veggies or use it over your gyros, kebabs, or to dip your fries, or to jazz up some mean dinner bowls!
Lentil Stew With Leeks & Potatoes
If you're looking for a cozy, comforting, filling soup, this potato leek lentil stew will do, and it s made with simple pantry staples. It's vegan, oil-free, gluten-free, and full of nutritious whole food plant-based ingredients. Hearty and delicious.
Mediterranean Fish Stew
This Mediterranean fish stew is perfect using any white fish. I have tried it with both halibut and flounder. You don t even have to cut the fish before putting it in the broth, because it will fall apart naturally on its own. Serve with some warm bread and a Greek salad.
Strawberry & Greek Yogurt Parfait
Fresh strawberries and Greek yogurt are topped with our easy muesli and a drizzle of honey to create a healthy, high-protein, Mediterranean diet-approved breakfast or snack. It can even be served as a healthy dessert!
Galaktoboureko Rolls
Galaktoboureko (pronounced ga-la-kto-BOU-re-ko) is one of the most popular of all Greek pastries! It's a traditional Greek custard pie made with phyllo pastry (aka fillo dough) and syrup. Serve it with fruit to give it that extra fresh and sweet bite. Not to mention, it looks nice too.
Lemon Pudding Cake
A moist lemon cake sits atop a delicate custard. Setting a 8-inch baking dish in a roasting pan filled halfway with water allows the custard to form while the top bakes. It s an excellent party dish, warm and just out of the oven.
Chicken With Mushrooms And Snap Peas
This lighter, brighter take on a family favorite: golden-brown chicken cutlets. With a rich, creamy sauce and fresh spring peas, this dish is the perfect representation of the transition from winter to spring.
