How is The Mediterranean Grill Cooked?
The chefs marinate the meats and vegetables in olive oil, herbs, and spices, allowing the flavors to penetrate and tenderize. They then thread the flavorful meat onto skewers, creating a colorful and aromatic presentation. The skewers are grilled over an open flame, searing the outside and locking in juices. The grill is hot upon serving, often with a side of creamy dips, salads, and warm pita bread.
Traditional Grilling Techniques
Souvlaki: Skewers of meat, typically beef or chicken, grilled over an open flame.
Shawarma: Thinly sliced meats cut from this rotisserie, bundled inside a warm pita with pickles, fries and tahini sauce.
Doner Kebab: A vertical spit-grilled meat served in a warm pita with a variety of vegetables and sauces.
Mediterranean grilling is an art form that requires patience, skill, and passion. And luckily, our chefs have trained in the region’s traditional ways.
Is Mediterranean Food Healthy?
Sesame seeds. Olive Oil. Chickpeas. Garlic. Tomatoes. Basil.
Mediterranean food is all about the combo of fresh veggies, whole grains, and healthy fats that just feels like a warm hug for my insides. And the best part? It’s not just about the food (although let’s be real, the hummus and pita are a big part of it). It’s about the way of life—gathering around the table with loved ones, sharing the mixed grill platter, savoring each bite, and taking care of yourself, body and soul. When you eat Mediterranean food, it feels like you’re giving your body the love and respect it deserves.
