Hey there, All!
One thing is for certain about me when it comes to me and eating is I like to pick more than sit down and eat. At the moment I am very busy with work and kiddos and have very little time for anything let alone eating. So, what I’ve been doing is putting a 15-minute Mediterranean Mezze board on my counter and pick at it as I want it and have time.
But wait. What is a Mezze board? By definition it is:
Mezze (or meze) is an assortment of small dishes eaten as appetizers or a light meal. Its contents vary by region, but the concept of grazing on a board filled with savory goodies remains the same.
Simple, right?
Picture it. Do laundry, have a bite, clean a room, have a bite. Honestly as a stay-at-home mom and running a business this is the way to do it. I never sit and I run around all day. Yes, there’s something to be said for making yourself sit and enjoy your food. However, this current week is go, go, go and there’s no time for that. So, let’s take a few minutes and make it. Here is how I made mine…
what you need:
Pita
Baguette
Olives
Artichokes
Hummus
Tzatziki
A meat, I used sopressata
Feta
Roasted red pepper
Cucumber
Cherry tomatoes
The beauty of throwing this together is there is no specific formula. I had most of this already in my house.
Believe me when I say this is a fast appetizer or light meal to throw together because I didn’t have much time to do so. I do recommend having olives, artichoke, and roasted red peppers in your cabinet ready to pull out for such an occasion. Mediterranean and Greek food is my favorite, so I usually always have things like feta, pita, and cucumbers. But feel free to make this board your own. Especially if you are a little board (pun intended) of charcuterie. Even though it isn’t that far off, still a little different.
