Mediterranean Food - the Healthiest for All

Most nutritionists agree "Mediterranean food" is the best for our health. Those of us used to meat-and-potatoes shiver. First, we have no idea where this Mediterranean is. Second, if it is where we think it is, it's got to be bad, bad, bad.

Mediterranean diet does encompass Italy and Greece, Northern Africa, Brazil and Latin America by extension. So what is this key to health and longevity?
Fish, rice and beans. fruit. For those who drink, one glass of red wine. Water.

I will give you a recipe we have perfected here at our house.

Appetizer:

• pita bread with humus

• salad: chopped Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, olives, shredded feta cheese, chopped bell pepper, vinagraitte.

How to for vinagraitte:

•mix equal parts of pure olive oil, balsamic vinegar, French mustard. Add think diced onion, black pepper. Stir.

Main dish:

A)
• Slab of fresh salmon or tuna, your favorite fish.

• One grapefruit.

• Raw onion rings.

• A tiny bit of palm oil (poison but good.)

• A tiny bit of coconut milk ( poison but good.)

In a pan, greased with olive oil, place the salmon, squeeze the grapefruit juice over it, the coconut mick and palm oil. Add onion rings on top. A dash of black pepper. Put all this to bake and remove when fish is shredding apart.

B) Cook some couscous. In the USA we have it sold in packets. Cook it in a ricemaker or in the microwave oven. Add some flavoring, making sure there is no MSG.

C) While the couscous is cooking, prepare a can of organic beans.

Voilà! Presto. If needed, serve some asparagus, we have so many in the summer.

D) For dessert, sorbet. I like passion fruit.
