Dear fellow food-lover,

Sharing and enjoying food with others is a hallmark of the Mediterranean Diet, and what better way to do so than over tapas, antipasti, meze, or hors d’oeuvres—AKA, Mediterranean appetizers! 

Happy cooking from the team at Oldways!

This easy-to-make flatbread is made with whole wheat flour and tangy buttermilk and topped with crunchy peanuts. The perfect accompaniment for Mediterranean dips and sauces, or delicious on its own!

This impressive looking appetizer is surprisingly simple to pull together. It’s also a great afternoon snack.

Ajo blanco is a nutty, creamy chilled soup from the Andalusia region of Spain. For a twist on the original, this version uses peanuts and rustic whole grain bread.
