3Meze (Turkey & Eastern Mediterranean)
Rather than a single dish, meze is a collection of small plates enjoyed across Turkey and much of the Eastern Mediterranean. A traditional spread may include hummus, stuffed grape leaves, roasted eggplant, yogurt dips, olives, grilled vegetables, cheeses, and fresh bread.
Sharing meze encourages slow dining and conversation, perfectly reflecting the Mediterranean philosophy that meals are meant to be enjoyed together rather than rushed.
