Mediterranean

Countries aroun the Mediterranean sea.

Beans and sugar snap peas with lemon and capers

Bright, crisp, and utterly refreshing, this side dish is a little burst of sunshine on the plate. Tender fresh beans and snappy sugar snap peas come together with briny capers, a squeeze of fresh lemon, and a scattering of fragrant dill. It's a dish that celebrates the fresh, zesty flavors so beloved across the Mediterranean, where a handful of quality ingredients and a light touch turn everyday vegetables into something special. 

Moussakaa

This is the Egyptian version. There are many variations in the surrounding countries. Moussakaa makes great main course, just serve with a green salad on the side.

Italian meatballs

In Italy, meatballs (polpette) are traditionally served as a second course, often with sauce or vegetables on the side. Smaller meatballs may also be offered as an antipasto or used in soups, pasta dishes, and other regional specialties.

Italian meatballs with tomato sauce

Pasta and meatballs is one of the Italian dishes most loved in the North American East coast. Though northern Italians like meatballs very much, probably not as much as North Americans do. To serve spaghetti with meatballs, cook the spaghetti as the package instructions say. Arrange them on a hot platter. Pour the tomato and meatball sauce over them.
