If you’ve followed this blog for any length of time, you already know that Mediterranean food is not so fussy. The ingredients are generally humble, and the recipes are easy to execute even on a week night. What’s more, many Mediterranean dinners are actually one pot recipes.
Today, I’m sharing only 11 Mediterranean one pot recipes that make excellent meals particularly during cooler months.
Without further ado, let’s get to the list.
Roasted Carrot Ginger Soup
This roasted carrot ginger soup is a top recipe here on the blog, and a bit of a personal obsession. The carrots are first roasted until caramelized and even somewhat charred. Besides the vigor added from the fresh ginger, the flavoring of this soup comes from a little bit of ground coriander and allspice. One reader said, “Tried it, loved it. Fun and easy to make plus yum.” Click here to see the roasted carrot ginger soup recipe.
Greek Avgolemono
Avgolemono soup is a classic Greek lemon chicken soup with rice that is enriched with an egg mixture. Not your average chicken soup for sure. Click here to see the Avgolemono recipe.
Cream of Cauliflower Soup
Perhaps one of my favorite one pot recipes is this cream of cauliflower soup. Roasting the cauliflower first adds lots of depth. And of course, this cauliflower soup is dressed in great Mediterranean spices and topped with dill, a forgotten herb that takes it to a whole new level of delicious.

Turmeric Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpea Stew
Flavor-packed turmeric roasted cauliflower and chickpea stew. A great combination of Middle Eastern spices take this chunky stew to a new level of delicious. Just add some pita or your favorite crusty bread. Click here to see the cauliflower and chickpea stew recipe.

I have diabetes 2 so the Mediterranean diet has been recommended.
