The focus in the cuisine is on Hearty vegetables, leafy greens, olive oils and fresh and simple mixes of spices that the western world had long moved away from, but slowly getting back to. No complications here and no secrets to their mix either, it is as simple as the Trio as we always called in our house fresh Garlic, Fresh Lemon juice and the ever popular Extra Virgin olive oil that no house in Lebanon is found without. This trio applies to just about fifty percent of the\u00a0Mediterranean dishes. Now the Trio is also used as the base from which you build the dish and build the flavors that applies to whatever you plan on cooking. Mediterranean cuisine in very much into Fruits,\u00a0vegetables\u00a0 grains, Nuts, Beans, Leafy greens, Herbs, Seeds and Fish. add to it the best part in Flat Bread baking.<\/p>\n<p>Use that on a bed of\u00a0Romaine\u00a0lettuce and you have one of the healthiest, tastiest dressings you have ever tried, it is simple and\u00a0extremely\u00a0affordable and available in almost everyone&#8217;s Pantry.<\/p>\n<p>Use that Trio on a bowl of Fava Beans or Garbanzo (ChickPeas) and you have one of the most filling Vegan dish, satisfying and healthy dishes.
