Mediterranean Diet on a Budget: Affordable Dishes Full of Flavor

Everyday ingredients form the base of many cheap Mediterranean meals. When shopping for ingredients seasonally, they become even more budget-friendly. Here are some ways to transform your meals with naturally nutritious options:

• Hummus: Blend chickpeas with lemon juice, olive oil, and tahini to create a versatile, creamy dip filled with plant protein. If you’d prefer to try ours, you’ll be spoilt for choice with our famous house hummus, as well as three custom versions with paprika, garlic, and chicken to suit your craving.
• Roasted eggplant: Roasting vegetables drizzled in olive oil is an easy way to enhance their nutrients and natural sweetness. Top eggplant with feta and pomegranate seeds for an extra pop of flavor. 19 Cleveland’s version is smoky and finished with pistachios.
• Baked fish: Seafood bake is a simple one-tray wonder. Bake white fish fillets with garlic, cherry tomatoes, olives, capers, and lemon juice for a hearty yet inexpensive main meal. Explore 19 Cleveland’s Mediterranean dinner menu for seafood options including halibut, shrimp, Branzino, and snapper.
