Vegetable Recipes from the Mediterranean

Home cooks increasingly want to prepare vegetable recipes that are healthy but succulent at the same time.

I offer many vegetable Mediterranean recipes explained step by step.

You'll find vegetarian, lacto-vegetarian and lacto-ovo-vegetarian recipes. Many of them are versatile, you can use them as appetizers, as accompaniment or side dish, it's up to you.

By the way, on Sunday, I prepared what seems to me the quickest and simplest soup in the world.

It's a traditional Catalan walnut soup - Sopa de nous. You shell some walnuts, pulverize them with mortar and pestle, put them in a soup bowl and scald them with boiling water. That's it. You can add toasted bread if you like.

The funny thing is that this walnut soup is also eaten as dessert and breakfast. In this case, you generally add some sugar, brown sugar I'd advice. Really cool, very healthy, and lightning fast!

Fresh sweet peas announce the spring

In the Mediterranean, March and April are the best time to enjoy sweet peas shining with their luminous green. Sauteing them with olive oil and green onions is quick and easy, and you will have an appetizer or healthy accompaniment in no time. Add some bacon or blood sausage, if you'd like more proteins and a more intense taste.

Sweet peas also combine very well with asparagus as in a Catalan-style asparagus casserole recipe.

A superb herb for green peas is fresh mint, which enhances the aroma of sweet peas. And of course, if you prepare a delicious paella recipe, don't forget to add some sweet peas.
