  • About
The Western notion of a three-course meal is foreign to most Mediterranean countries. Dishes are rarely plated and served to individuals. Instead, a medley of food is brought to the middle of the table in large platters, family-style, or served on a buffet. There is no clear distinction between what is considered a main course and what is a meze. Some of the dishes in this chapter could also be served as meze, just as a few of those in the meze chapter can be served as a main course.

Frugal cooks around the Mediterranean were limited to a small variety of vegetables and greens for months on end, so they devised an incredible number of ways to prepare them differently. They stew vegetables with aromatics, stuff them with bulgur or rice, grate them, and mix them with cheese to make the filling for pies, or fry them and serve them with tarator or skordalia.
