1000 Mediterranean Meals: Every Recipe You Need for the Healthiest Way to Eat (1000 Meals)

Each recipe shows how you could add a twist to the basic recipe, with different ingredients.
Marinated Manchego.
Vibrant colors almost like art work. You can get some ideas on elevating the food by curating the plates. For example silvery boquerones on a matching plate.
White cheese adds as a foil or a good backdrop for other colors to shine.
I dont think I have ever considered soup at a Greek restaurant.
Lebanese Fatoush salad looks very interesting with cubed pita bread. I might try this with roti. Its softer counterpart is Panzanella with soaked stale bread.
Tempted to make the pita bread.
If you love the Lebanese Pizza with zaatar at Costco, you might lean towards making this pizza recipe.

I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct). In some months, when for religious reasons, people dont eat onion, t...
