Here we are at the end of another great year working our way through Mediterranean recipes and amazing flavors from all around the Mediterranean! And now, I get to write my favorite post of the year sharing the BEST Mediterranean recipes of 2018!
And since it’s 2018, I have 18 must-try Mediterranean recipes. These recipes have been chosen by you, readers of this blog.

Do you have a recipe for garlic sauce please, also what should / could I use as an alternative to chick peas in tagine and stew recipes ?
Many thanks for all the great recipes.
Happy New Year to yourself and all other subscribers !
Suzy Karadsheh says
Hi Al! I don’t have a garlic sauce recipe yet for you at this point, but it’s on the calendar for 2019! You can omit the chickpeas from the tagine, or you can also use white beans if you prefer.
Al says
Looking forward to that ! Many thanks, my family enjoy eating the food I cook using your recipes.

Judith says
I love all your recipes. I don’t think I’ve disliked anything you have sent out. Seriously. However, even though they didn’t make the Top 18, I do think special mention should be given to your Middle Eastern Stuffed Eggplant and Grilled Harissa Chicken. Fabulous
Suzy Karadsheh says
Judith, thank you so much! And you’re so right…I love both the Middle Eastern Stuffed Eggplant and the grilled harissa chicken! And there are so many more favorites not mentioned here. Thanks for sharing yours!
