Many countries surround the Mediterranean Sea, including France, Italy, Portugal and Greece. Each of these regions has a distinct flavor profile that uses the same (or similar) ingredients in a unique way. Here are a few:
Flavorful extra-virgin olive oil
Fresh oregano
Roasted red peppers
Canned chickpeas
Fresh parsley
Quick Fix:
With extra-virgin olive oil you can make a French vinaigrette, an Italian pasta dish, a simple Portuguese grilled langoustine (or shrimp) drizzled with olive oil and lemon or Greek-style hummus, made with olive oil, chickpeas and parsley. Oregano brings an edge to chicken and lamb dishes.
