Mediterranean recipes

Greek salads and souvlaki, lentil soup, shakshuka, fish stew, white beans with greens: the everyday cooking of the Mediterranean coasts. Each recipe on this page was picked by hand as recognisably Mediterranean. It is a style of cooking, so no formula decides it.

Each recipe is scored for satiety per calorie. Fish, beans, yogurt and vegetables push the score up; olive oil, bread and cheese bring flavour and pull it down. The page shows you where each dish lands.
