What the title says. If you have interesting easy to make Mediterranean recipes, please share. I'm trying to get away from a majority rice diet.

I don't have recipe but you can get marinated meat from halal grocery shops and put it in the oven or on the grill or in air fryer with some vegetables and have a meal in 30 min. Just buy or make fresh hummus with chickpeas and tahini sauce to add more protein and flavor.

That is not Mediterranean.

NP. That kind of dish is served in Lebanese restaurants where I live.

If OP only wants Italian and Greek food, then ask for that.

Isn’t rice a staple in much Mediterranean cooking?

I ask bc I’m not quite sure what kind of recipes you want, but I love to broil or grill any white fish (simply seasoned with evoo, salt and pepper, maybe a squirt of lemon juice), and serve with an olive tapande. Often I make the tapanade, but Trader Joe’s has a good one in the refrigerated area if you want to buy. Or sometimes I serve the fish with a roasted red pepper sauce. For sides, I usually make rice, cous cous or roasted potatoes, and grilled vegetables (a mix of peppers, or asparagus, or whatever I have).

Nothing is easy except pasta. Like cavatappi pasta, with melted butter, spoon or 2 of sour cream, mix it up, top with good parmesean like shaved kind or pre-shredded, fresh ground peppercorn. Can add fresh chopped arugula to pasta dish, or sauteed frozen broccoli or asparagus.

Can also do penne pasta with canned sauce like Rao's, but on side fry half an onion and sliced italian chicken sausage, toss together.

Mediterranean soft taco fusion - season ground beef with generous cumin, some allspice, and Adobo (Goya red lid). Put in soft taco with fixins like fried onion and red bell peppers, lettuce. Top with homemade tzaziki - I use plain plain yogurt mixed with 1/2 a serving of McCormick gyro sauce packet - little goes long way. I dont use meat seasoning that comes with it.

I usually increase the spices a bit, but I love most things I tried. There are lots of vegetarian options and I also sub ground turkey for beef.

Zucchini pancakes are easy! Serve with tzatziki or garlic yogurt and some grilled chicken or halloumi.

So you want Mediterranean food or what nutritionists calls the Mediterranean diet? They are really two different things. Like cacio e Pepe is Mediterranean food but not what you’d eat on the Mediterranean diet. It’s a very misleading name.

Baba ganoush is super easy. It’s also nice to have on super hot days.
