1. Good Olive Oil
Investing in a good quality extra virgin olive oil is so worth it.
2. Garlic
Whether it's raw or cooked, garlic is a must-have for Mediterranean cooking.
3. Lemons
Fresh is always better, and lemon juice is no different. Skip the bottled stuff and get some whole fresh lemons.
4. Oregano
A bottle of dried oregano will last you a while. A little bit goes a long way but it's makes a huge impact.
5. Olives
I haven't met an olive that I didn't love. They all bring different flavor profiles and textures that really enhance a dish.
When it comes to cooking Mediterranean food at home, you might be surprised to find that you already have a lot of what you need.
Once you have these 5 ingredients, you'd be amazed how quickly a dish can come together.
