Let's Celebrate the End of Summer With Mediterranean Keto
The concept of the Mediterranean cuisine as we know it today is relatively new. This healthy cuisine has its roots in the olive growing eastern coastal regions of the Mediterranean Sea; Greece, Turkey and Lebanon, and Middle-eastern and north African regions. This type of cooking with shared characteristics has been developed mainly throughout the late 19th and early 20th century territories of the now defunct Ottoman Empire. Today, the common distinctions of Mediterranean cuisine make this type of cooking popular and well accepted across the world.
How about this no non-sense keto combo with a low carb pita bread? The "Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Breast " is a truly great summer delicacy... We shall serve this delicacy in the week of August 22nd.
The best known and most popular ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine is the olive oil which is produced in abundance in this region and exported worldwide. Unsurprisingly, the people of the eastern Mediterranean region consume the highest amount of olive oil in the world. Olive trees produce the bitter fruit that is ideal for making the healthiest and most delicious olive oils for cooking. Olive oil works great as a dressing in all kinds of foods, adding a bold and distinct flavor to everything from appetizers and salads to pasta and other main dishes. Olive oil is free of unhealthy trans fats and full of flavor. Please note that Southern California has also excellent olives. https://www.myketopal.com/post/olives-of-san-jacinto-valley
Fresh herbs dominate Mediterranean cuisine, giving it the unique and fresh flavor that everyone loves. The Mediterranean region is known for growing excellent herbs such as basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary, to name a few. It makes it only natural to add these tasty, flavor-boosting fresh herbs to Mediterranean dishes.
In Mediterranean cuisine, meats such as chicken, beef and pork are typically grilled and served as filet or kabob on skewers. Additionally, seafood is regularly included in a Mediterranean dishes.
Mediterranean cuisine is the basis of the Mediterranean diet. It health benefits can be attributed to the ingredients that are used in most Mediterranean style foods.
Our "Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Breast " is prepared with charbroiled free range chicken breast and served with the delicious "cancer fighting" keto tabbouleh side salad --we prepare tabbouleh salad with parsley, chopped onions and tomatoes, lemon, olive oil and a bit of chopped blanched almonds (first soaked in water for a few hours).
In addition to the home made guacamole salad, we serve tzatziki made a double strained Greek yogurt, loaded with garlic, dill and cucumbers and finished with a shot of olive oil. Both are must have sides for this summer dish.
