EGGS ALL DAY •

Eggs flex for the win, morning, noon, and night! Bring them to breakfast with a zucchini frittata, lunch with bubbly shakshuka, or dinner with harissa-spiced chickpea stew.

STICK IT •

Fire up the grill for these all-in-one main dishes. Skewered crisp-tender vegetables, marinated proteins, and a few flavorful sauces guarantee mealtime success.

WELL BLENDED •

Best served cold, Spanish-style gazpacho is the chillest blended soup around. Simply whirl fresh produce in a blender or food processor, refrigerate, then serve. This soup has unlimited flavor combos, but here are a few tried-and-true recipes.

PLANT POWER •

Move over meat and fuel up on these veggie-centric dishes, all inspired by Mediterranean flavors. With colorful produce at the center of your plate, it couldn’t be easier to make a dent in your five-a-day.

RATATOUILLE RIFFS •

There’s more than one way to enjoy veggie-heavy ratatouille (rat-uh-TOO-ee). Start with it spiralized and roasted or make Provençal-style stew. Then layer it in grilled cheese, toss it with pappardelle, or stuff it into peppers. There’s no shortage of twists on tradition.

FLAVOR BURSTS •

Drizzles or dollops of herbaceous pesto, creamy hummus, cooling tzatziki, and so-spicy harissa paste are total game changers. Add major flavor to any dish or try ’em as a snack or appetizer with your favorite dippers.

HEAT YOUR VEG •

Vegetables are at the heart of Mediterranean cuisine. If you struggle to make the most of them, bring the heat. Roasting, sautéing, and even torching fresh produce brings out their naturally sweet, caramelized goodness for easy extras you can serve on the side.

GRAIN REIGN •

Hearty grains add filling fiber, toothsome texture, and subtle nutty flavor. They create the foundation for endless Mediterranean meals when teamed up with all the extras like meat, seafood, sauces, and veggies.

SIMMERING SOUPS •

Any season, any reason, soup is more than food—it’s comfort and nourishment. Enjoy silky avgolemono, veggie-packed lentil stew, and tomatoey tortellini soup (just to name a few).

FOCACCIA FOR YOU •

Soft, warm, and chewy focaccia is the yeast bread everyone can make. Nail the base recipe, then customize with toppers you crave.
