BeginnerThe best part about Mediterranean food is that the tastiest dishes are made from the simplest and most accessible food and staples. I’ve recently been back in the momentum of creatively cooking spontaneously – the only way is to have a fully (or almost) stocked kitchen. This is inspired by my trip to Mykonos and Sicily back in 2008 where I discovered the freshest ingredients and gigantic Sicilian lemons grown at your fingertips. Here is lemony, nutty and Mediterranean all in one dish :)
