June Mediterranean Dinners Meal Plan (June 24)

"This flavorful skillet chicken bruschetta puts a tasty spin on a traditional dish. Drawing inspiration from the Italian appetizer, we replace the usual toasted bread with protein-packed chicken cutlets. The vibrant and juicy chopped tomato topping remains a constant, complemented by a drizzle of sweet and tangy balsamic glaze. For an added layer of flavor, serve topped with shaved Parmesan cheese or add some chopped olives to the tomato mixture for a briny kick." Add a large salad and veggies, like Neapolitan Green Beans.

This Farro Salad combines chewy farro and orzo pasta with Mediterranean ingredients like cucumbers, tomatoes, lemon, feta, and mint. It’s a filling and satisfying dish that makes leftovers for lunches throughout the week. Add protein on the side if needed, and if serving a smaller number, you may want to half the recipe. About 30 minutes.

"In this twist on classic Shakshuka, a can of cannellini beans simmers in the spicy tomato and bell pepper sauce until the beans are tender, creamy, and flavorful."

"Oregano, thyme and paprika flavor the cod in this 15-minute, Mediterranean-inspired meal. Olives, capers and roasted cherry tomatoes add color and zest to each bite." Serve with couscous or your favorite whole grain.

Easy grilled Beef Kofta, or Kafta, as it's sometimes called, is a Lebanese-style street food that's super simple to make at home. Tender and delicious Kofta Kebabs are made with Middle Eastern spices and are grilled indoors or out in less than 10 minutes.
