All Greek food is considered Mediterranean cuisine, but not all Mediterranean food is Greek. This is because the Mediterranean encompasses a great number of countries. All those countries are what make Mediterranean cuisine burst with flavor.
Greek Staples:
Souvlaki – A skewer with small pieces of meat and sometimes vegetables. These are generally served right off the grill, so they are eaten when they are hot.
Spanakopita – This is a delicious spinach pie and often contains lots of cheese. In northern Greece, this dish is called “spanakotiropita.”
Gyro – A savory meat stuffed pita with tzatziki. The meat used in gyros is generally lamb, chicken, beef, and even pork.
Dolmades – These are a Greek appetizer that is a family favorite. They are great served warmed or cold. The inside is rice filling that is wrapped with grape leaves.
Mediterranean Staples:
Hummus – This is a middle eastern staple. It is made from chickpeas blended and flavored with different spices.
Falafels – A delicious deep-fried ball that is made from chickpeas and beans.
Moussaka –
This eggplant dish is common across the middle east and contains ground beef. It is almost like a lasagna.
