I chose Mediterranean Sea Bass because it’s a wonderful fish. Firm white, moist and buttery with a pleasant mild yet sweet flavor. In this recipe the fish is quickly seared with thin sliced potatoes and served with leeks, watercress beurre blanc sauce.

Every Mediterranean love their foods.

The freshest produce, vivid colors and bold flavors that’s what you expect to see and smell in markets ( Souks) all over the coast of the Mediterranee.

Obviously they love their food. But they enjoy the people around the table, with good conversation, good food and good drink.

So I think that is the secret of life.

If you’re a fan of Moroccan cuisine or the Mediterranean diet, you’ll be aware of tajine (tagine), the succulent slow-cooked stew made with meat, spices, dried fruit and vegetables. It’s easy to make and tastes as heavenly as it smells!

However, there is also another similar dish called tanjia (tangia). Both tajine and tanjia are delicious savory Moroccan stews. They are similar in the fact they are both named after the clay pots they are cooked in.

This Moroccan salad is boosted with extra nutrients. Sardines has excellent taste qualities and is an excellent source of proteins, amino acids and unsaturated Omega-3 fat. Rich in mineral and vitamins. You can easily purchase these in any supermarket.

Pomegranates are native to the Middle East and the word Pomegranate means apple with many seeds

Insalata Caprese. It’s simple. You only need a few ingredients to come up with this refreshing summer dish. This salad takes just 8 to 10 minutes to put together. I’m using cherry tomatoes but any type you substitute with will taste great. Perfect as a side dish or appetizer.

I usually cook this type of dishes in a Tajine (Moroccan style cooking) but today i’ll be giving you this recipe that is conveniently cooked using a cast iron skillet. 

The infuse meat, aromatic spices, savory onions, and tangy olives, topped with homemade preserved lemon… amazingly delicious!

From the south of this seaside city of France, salade Niçoise [nee’swaz] is definitely a summer dish. Over a 100 years old! If you’re in Nice, you cannot avoid it, Ratatouille included trust me, i live there for a year. What I love about it is the contrast of all the vegetables, protein packed and so delicious. It is very important that you have a good quality anchovy.
