Yemista

Greece

So good it might as well have been called ‘yum-ista’, this classic Greek dish of peppers stuffed with rice and other tasty veg is delicious. It’s baked in the oven and the result is like summer on a plate – ideal for al fresco evening meals in the rays.

Caponata

Italy

Heading to Sicily? You’ll spy a few different variations of this veg one-pot on menus. Typically though, it’s made with aubergine, tomatoes, onions, olives and celery. Capers and pine nuts can sometimes go in, and you might find it served with vegan bread – just ask to double-check ingredients. Rest assured, it looks inviting and tastes fabulous. Buonissimo!

Poljicki soparnik

Croatia

Originating from the Dalmatian Coast is a hearty pie – and vegan Croatian staple to say the least. As it’s filled to the rafters with veggies and other wholesome, simple ingredients, you can expect nutrient-stuffed joy. Cooking involves baking on an open fire covered in hot coals.

Garbanzo a la Navarra

Spain

Here you’ve got a flavour-packed Spanish sensation made with creamy, buttery chickpeas and a roasted pepper sauce. We recommend mixing it up with other tapas plates if you’re going down the sharing platter route, but otherwise, it makes a mega main meal as well. Choices, choices!
