This Sheet Pan Mediterranean Cod is a quick and easy 20-minute hands-free dinner, loaded with veggies and perfect for the week days!

Sheet Pan Mediterranean Cod

1.5 lb wild caught Cod

0.5 lb vine tomatoes, (any tomatoes will work)

white onion, (quartered)

asparagus

olives

artichokes

herbs

sea salt and fresh ground pepper, (to taste)

cilantro

In a large sheet pan add in the fish and veggies, all except the marinated artichoke. Season cod well with oil, herbs, salt and pepper. Tomatoes can be left whole or quarted, depending on what tomatoes you are using. Onion is quartered and asparagus spears are trimmed.

Bake at 415F degrees fro 20-25 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish. Mine was very thick so I baked for 28 minutes. Most cod filets are thin so I suggest that you keep an eye on the fish at around the 20 minutes mark, when the fish starts to flake you can remove from oven.

Add in the marinated artichokes and garnish the dish with freh herbs. Serve as is.

This Mediterranean Vegetable Galette is elegant yet fuss-free, perfect for showcasing the vibrant flavors of summer&#039;s vegetable bounty. With its golden, flaky crust and colorful array of roasted vegetables, this galette is as visually stunning as it is delicious.

Mediterranean Vegetable Galette

all-purpose flour

salt

unsalted butter ((1 stick plus 2 tablespoons))

water

eggplant (approximately 1 pound, cubed)

Salt

cherry tomatoes

zucchini

medium red or yellow bell pepper

black pepper

garlic (minced)

basil (thinly sliced)

pesto

log (4-ounce) goat cheese

Cornmeal

Parmesan cheese (divided)

Combine flour, salt, and butter in a food processor bowl. Process until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Add 3 tablespoons of ice water and pulse in the food processor. Push some of the dough up against the side of the bowl to see if it holds together. (Be aware of the blade if you do it with your hand.) If it doesn&#39;t quite hold together, add 1 more tablespoon of ice water.

Place a piece of plastic wrap down on a work surface and empty the unformed dough onto it. Shape the dough into a disk, using the plastic wrap to assist. Wrap with the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Galette Dough

Meanwhile, place cubed eggplant in a colander. Toss eggplant with approximately 2 teaspoons salt. Let drain 30 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Place eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini and bell pepper on a large baking sheet.  Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Roast until beginning to brown and just becoming tender, approximately 15 minutes.  (Keep in mind they&#39;re going to cook again in the galette.)

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and tilt it slightly so that excess oil and liquid drain away.  Let the vegetables cool.

Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees.

Toss vegetables with garlic, basil, Parmesan cheese, salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Galette Filling

Place the chilled dough on a floured surface and roll it into a 12 to 14-inch circle, adding more flour as needed.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle a light layer of cornmeal over the parchment paper.

Place the galette dough onto the prepared parchment paper.

Spread the pesto over the pastry, leaving a 2-3 inch border.

Break the goat cheese log into pieces and dot the pesto evenly.

Place vegetable mixture onto the pie crust, leaving a 3-inch border.

Fold the dough over the vegetables, overlapping as necessary to partially cover the filling. (Should have a rustic appearance.)

Brush the pastry with olive oil.

Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes or until crust is golden.

Sprinkle with a little Parmesan cheese.  Cut into wedges and serve.

Assembly and Baking

These mediterranean breakfast pita pockets are perfect if you’re someone who finds yourself sick of eating the same breakfast over and over again. They&#039;re the perfect thing to whip up when you need something healthy and delicious ready in just a few minutes. The scramble is made up of sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, feta and oregano, resulting in a flavor-packed breakfast that’s a great source of protein too!

Mediterranean Breakfast Pita

eggs

tbsp milk ((optional, just gives the eggs more volume))

tsp kosher salt

tsp black pepper

tomatoes

spinach

tbsp feta cheese ((crumbled))

pita

Chop the sun-dried tomatoes into small pieces and set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the eggs, milk, and seasonings. Whisk well to incorporate air and make the eggs fluffy!

Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach. Mix one more time.

Over medium heat, heat oil in a small skillet. Once hot, pour in the egg mixture.

The cooking process is really up to you. Flip the eggs and break them up (just make a scramble) until they are cooked to your liking.

Remove from the heat and sprinkle on feta cheese.

Put your pita in the microwave for 30 seconds to warm it, then slice it in half.

Open up each half to make a &#39;pocket&#39; shape, stuff each half with the eggs and enjoy!

Middle Eastern Meatballs (Kofta Kebabs) made in 15 minutes with middle eastern spices and ground beef. Just like your favorite restaurant!

Middle Eastern Meatballs (Kofta Kebabs)

parsley (, chopped)

mint (, minced)

garlic (, minced)

coriander

cumin

allspice

cayenne pepper

ginger

beef

onion

Preheat

Add all the ingredients except the beef into a bowl and stir well.

Add in the beef and stir until just combined.

Shape

Form into 1/4 cup meatballs (I use an ice cream scoop) onto your cast iron skillet or sheet pan.

Cook

Cook for 15-18 minutes or until cooked through.

Delicious recipe! I omitted allspice and fresh mint because I didn't have any, and they came out great.

Loved these, the seasonings are perfect and they were easy to make too! Thanks for the recipe, definitely saving this one!!

These were incredible! I made a half recipe since it was just for myself. I did go easy on some of the spices because I'm not a big fan of cinnamon, for example. I also used dried mint (around 1/2 - 3/4 tsp for a half batch which I thought was perfect). I'll definitely be making them again! I served mine with garlic naan, herby lemon yogurt and a cucumber &amp; tomato salad.

AMAZING!  We use 1# ground beef and 1# ground lamb

Delicious served with a green tahini sauce
