Mediterranean for Two

About this book

Finally, it's easier than ever for small households to reap the benefits of the Mediterranean diet with these 200 vibrant recipes! With Mediterranean for Two, America's Test Kitchen offers up Mediterranean cooking--the most popular diet in the U.S.--on a simpler, smaller scale with a lineup of just-for-two recipes that sing with flavor. They simplify shopping so that you can get the most out of vegetables, beans, whole grains, seafood, and lean meat in recipes that take 45 minutes or less. Make extraordinary use of ordinary ingredients, such as high-quality convenience items, to capture the flavor and spirit of the region in every dish. Plus, the Mediterranean diet is naturally low-sodium, high-fiber, and anti-inflammatory. You'll have at your fingertips: - Simplicity and authentic flavors: From Sicilian Fish Stew to Fava Bean Pesto Pasta and Air-Fryer Lamb Kofte Wraps, you'll want to make these recipes again and again.- Smart recipes with no guesswork: Perfectly tailoring for two means perfect results and no waste.- Dishes from across the Mediterranean: Enjoy diverse recipes from Italy and Greece to Turkey, Egypt, and beyond such as Chickpea Shakshuka, Chraime, and Ta'ameya.- Get more from your pantry: A clear introduction helps you stock a pantry with flavors you'll use over and over again, from preserved lemons to za'atar. With Use It Up ideas you'll find plenty of ways to transform that half a cauliflower or squash into tomorrow's dinner.- Mix and match meals: At the end of each chapter, you'll find a collection of supersimple recipes for easy salads, bean and grain dishes, proteins, and more that you can mix and match for a complete meal at the drop of a hat. You will be inspired to make and savor Mediterranean meals such as Cacio e Pepe Beans with Squash, Sage, and Walnuts; Stuffed Eggplant with Lentils, Pomegranate, and Ricotta; and Seared Tilapia with Olive Vinaigrette and Warm Chickpea Salad every night of the week.
