Summer Vegetables

The Mediterranean cuisine is full of vegetables, some common ones and some very specific to the region. The strong sun of the Mediterranean gives fruits and vegetables such an intense flavour that they become the hero of many recipes. There is no need to add sauces or strong condiments, just enough seasoning to enhance their flavour.

Find plenty of eggplant recipes like Fried Eggplant Balls, or zucchini recipes like the most renowned Fried Zucchini Blossom.  An easy Ratatouille and the famous Puntarelle alla Romana.
