Mediterranean

Recipes from Greece and Spain, built on olive oil, lemon, herbs and good seafood. Greek chicken souvlaki is marinated in lemon, garlic and oregano and grilled on skewers. Traditional moussaka layers roasted aubergine, a cinnamon-scented meat sauce and a thick béchamel. Spanish seafood paella is cooked without stirring so a toasted crust, the socarrat, forms underneath. The chickpea salad is a no-cook side for any of them.
