Mediterranean Spice Blend Recipes

Mediterranean spice blend is a pantry shortcut for adding warm, herby, savory flavor to everyday recipes. Blends vary, but they often include ingredients like oregano, thyme, rosemary, basil, garlic, onion, paprika, black pepper, and sometimes cumin, coriander, or lemony sumac.

Use it to season grilled chicken, roasted fish, shrimp skewers, lamb, turkey meatballs, roasted potatoes, chickpeas, and sheet-pan vegetables. It also works beautifully in olive oil marinades, yogurt sauces, vinaigrettes, hummus, couscous, rice bowls, and pasta salads.

Because many blends contain salt, taste before adding extra seasoning. For the brightest flavor, stir it into oil, lemon juice, or yogurt before tossing with proteins or vegetables.
