About Mediterranean rice

Mediterranean Rice is a flavorful dish inspired by the vibrant cuisines of the Mediterranean region. Typically, it features long-grain rice cooked with a combination of olive oil, garlic, onions, and a blend of herbs like oregano, parsley, or dill. Ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, olives, and fresh vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini add depth and nutrients, while a squeeze of lemon provides a refreshing citrus finish. Often enriched with lean protein options like chickpeas or grilled chicken, this dish is both versatile and satisfying. Mediterranean Rice is rich in fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats from olive oil, making it a heart-healthy option. However, depending on salt or olive content, sodium and calorie levels may vary, so portion control is key. This dish is a wholesome choice that reflects the balanced and nutrient-dense Mediterranean diet.
