Mediterranean Food: Up and Coming Flavor Choice

Jan. 11, 2013 - PRLog -- December 6, 2012 – Richardson, TX - Mediterranean cuisine is becoming one of the most sought after types of cuisine on menus across the United States. There has been increasing interest in ethnic, healthy, and vegetarian foods, and Mediterranean fare fills the need with all of these categories. National chain restaurants that usually specialize in American fare are even adding similar offerings to their menus, because in surveys, it is shown that 6 out of 10 customers will order Mediterranean food if it is offered.

With sales in restaurants offering Mediterranean cuisine rising by almost 2% in the past year, it is no wonder an establishment like Sultan Café would hire Click4Corp to help them establish a web presence and become even better known in the Dallas area. People are demanding more healthful options in restaurant offerings and fish, herbs, fresh vegetables, and the use of olive oil are consistent with these healthful demands. The simple preparation of such vegetables, fresh fish, and other meats is an additional flavor point and draw for Mediterranean food. The cooking is better for you, yet often the food seems as if it is not because of all the flavor and freshness. The use of olive oil exclusively is the major factor in this food being good for you, while being tasty at the same time.

Hummus, falafel, garbanzo beans, and Greek yogurt are finding their way into all types of cooking and restaurants. Since they are staples in the Mediterranean way of cooking, is it then no wonder the popularity of these restaurants has skyrocketed. The use of very fresh ingredients, many brought from the Mediterranean themselves, and the cooking methods that do not add fat, are the enticing aspects of this cuisine. Although simplistic, it is a type and method of cooking that is not easily mastered. Shawarma recipes are often handed down from generation to generation, and hummus has many applications and recipes also. Familiarity with the ingredients and techniques will bring excellence to the cuisine, so visit an authentic Mediterranean establishment to be exposed to the true excellence of the food.

Much of the Mediterranean offering is vegetarian. Garbanzo beans, otherwise known as chickpeas, are a large part of the diet. Falafel and hummus are both made from chickpeas and served as dips or spreads and fried in balls, but many other Mediterranean menu items are also vegetarian. Tabuli and jarjeer are salads, and many menu items feature cheese and eggs; only forgoing what is actually meat. Bread such as pitas and fattoush are additional items for the vegetarians, and many dishes offer rice. The vegetarian aspect seems to be one of the leading elements in the gaining popularity of Mediterranean restaurants.
