Exploring the Vibrant Flavors of Mediterranean Cuisine: Five Must-Try Dishes and Where to Find Them in Silicon Valley

February 14, 2024 by · Leave a Comment 

The flavors of Mediterranean cuisine pop joyously, reflecting the freshness of its ingredients and its roots in a long culinary tradition from regions such as the Middle East. Allow the tastes and spices of Mediterranean food to let you experience the unique food culture of this region. Here are five must-eat dishes from the Mediterranean that should be on every foodie’s bucket list.

Manakish: Manakish has come to mean flatbread generally. This dish is a Levantine recipe of dough flattened out and baked, usually with olive oil and za’atar and other toppings such as cheese or minced meat added on top. In the Levantine part of the Middle East, it is typically eaten for breakfast or as a snack.

Shawarma: This traditional favorite of the Middle East is a thin slice of marinated meat—beef, lamb, or chicken—usually wrapped in pita bread with veggies and tahini sauce.

Kebab: This exotic, zesty, flexible dish, is also simple in nature. It involves marinated, barbequed skewers of meats, such as the aforementioned lamb, beef, or chicken. They are, of course, dipped in a spice-herb combination for a unique flavor. Kebabs can be eaten alongside several sides such as rice, salad, and pita bread.

Moussaka: Both Greeks and Cypriots argue that the taste of moussaka is unmistakably Greek. This casserole is known for its richness and full flavor, which come from a combination of layers of eggplant and minced meat, which is yet again lamb or beef topped with juicy tomatoes covered with a creamy béchamel sauce that later creates quite a filling experience after baking.

Falafel: Probably the most popular classic street food in the Arab world is falafel. It is prepared using ground chickpeas or fava beans spiced with a lot of different seasonings and herbs, then formed into balls or layers and deep-fried to a crispy, golden brown. Stuffed in pita bread, it pairs well with pickles, tomatoes, cucumbers, and tahini sauce, and can be highly desirable to vegetarian food lovers.

Silicon Valley has the answer to Mediterranean cravings at Manakish Oven & Grill. Serving diners in Walnut Creek, Concord, and Danville, the restaurant brings Mediterranean authenticity and the flavors of the Mediterranean to the area.
