Mediterranean Diet Food: Fresh Mint for Mediterranean Recipes

Right now the fresh mint is the happiest being in our home. It has been raining since the beginning of April, and this aromatic herb loves dampness. The typical Mediterranean flat parsley is also thriving.

So this month I cooked a few mint and parsley omelets. The Lebanese version combines mint and parsley with scallions. The Catalan version combines fresh mint with green garlic. The Arabic version adds one teaspoon of flour. We don't.

To make such an omelet, finely chop a few sprigs of the herbs and vegetables you chose. Beat 4 or 5 eggs. Mix everything gently. Add some salt and a small pinch of pepper, and you'll have prepared a delicious, quick and easy Mediterranean recipe suitable for lunch or dinner.

You can cook small omelets or a round flat omelet as in a potato omelette recipe.

And with so much fresh mint around, don't forget to make a Moroccan-style mint tee from time to time.
