No fish or meat for me though

Lot of options still available, nonetheless.

A large plate of steamed vegetables, drizzled with olive oil and vinegar and a grated clove of garlic is a treat.

Maybe lunch, today, now that I think about it.

I really want to do the Mediterranean diet but my foot is currently in a cast and I get my groceries done once a week and veggies around here straight up do not last.... so I'm struggling.

You can eat a very healthy diet, mediterranian style, even with dry and frozen ingredients. And stock up on herbs and spices. Especially herbs.

Potatoes, onions, garlic, beans, lentils, rice (brown, if you can tolerate it), frozen spinach, frozen peas, corn, collard greens, green beans, chickpeas, fava beans...these are staples for the diet. Add other cereals if you can find it, like spelt or even regular wheat, for variety. Even barley is good. Add chillies and bellpeppers (you can dry these and it will keep for months in a jar) to your pantry because you need to build bold flavours. Don't be afraid of edible mushrooms, fresh or dry.

Then add olive oil as your base cooking fat (bottled, not in a spray can) and keep vegetable based butter to top off those dishes that are a bit dry on the palate.

If eggs, milk, cheese and yogurt are an option for you, these will add some extra fat you won't be getting from your base diet.

Mediterranian diet is about eating what is available. It's peasants cooking, not palatial fare.

When you’re rich in monounsaturated fatty acids they let you do it.

The processed meats are not what make the Mediterranean diet healthy. It's one of the least healthy components of the diet.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 days ago

yeah because everything else is so cheap, parmesan and sundried tomatoes are known for their affordability.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 4 days ago

Swedneck can have little a salami, as a treat.
