        Caprese Eggplant Steaks
        Authentic Greek Salad (Horiátiki Salata)

        Black Eyed Peas with Fresh Dill, Olive Oil and Orange Slices

        Black eyed peas with Fresh Dill, Olive Oil and Orange Slices is one of my all-time favorite Mediterranean Diet recipes. How can you go wrong with fresh dill, fresh parsley, green onions, orange slices, and 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil.

        As you prepare this amazing dish, I would highly recommend resisting the urge to cut back on the olive oil.  As you simmer the ingredients, the oil cooks into the beans and herbs and what is left thickens to make a flavorful gravy.  This is a traditional vegan dish from the island of Crete and works great with a vegan salad. If you are not vegan, you can eat it with our authentic Greek salad for a meal that is comforting, filling and good for you!

        This recipe is from our book:  “Foods of Crete: Traditional Recipes from the Healthiest People in the World” by Koula Barydakis and Bill Bradley, R.D.
