    All of them.

    Well, all the ones I can eat, anyway... raised veg, so I've never eaten lamb, perse. I'm a huge fan of dolmades, falafel with tahini or yogurt sauce, spanakopita, anything with feta cheese and olive oil... umm... hummus, baba ghanouj, Greek salad with pepperoncini, kalamata (sometimes garlic-stuffed) olives, and of course a good honey-soaked baklava.

    Mmmmm... baklava. :love:

    Anyway, hit me up for suggestions. My mom makes a mean spinach pie.

    I make a lot of hummus. It with pita bread is a major staple in my diet. I also get grape leaves and falafel whenever I can.

    Koftas and shawarma are among my favorite things. I also love Italian food, but don't eat much of it recently!

    Quinoa tabouleh! I made it once, it was yummy!

    My boyfriend's dad is Syrian so he makes a lot of amazing Mediterranean dishes, but I don't have recipes for them. :( Lots of olive oil, greek yogurt, and lemon juice!!!

    baba baba baba baba! (baba ganoush)... it's SO FUN TO SAY
    Love chicken shish kebabs. I don't know what our local restaurant marinates the meat in, but they are SO tender and juicy.
    Great. Now I'm hungry again!

    I LOVE Mediterranean style quinoa!!!

    We also use such seasonings with an olive oil/water mix for popcorn ;)
