As I might have told you before, my family and myself – to the extent possible - are fish lovers. I think the correct nutritional choice is to avoid meat and dairy products as much as possible and devote yourself to fish, various fruits of the sea and vegetables. In my family we try to follow this pattern of life as much as possible which if accompanied by the basis of Mediterranean diet which is the genuine olive oil, then I think you have tried your best for a healthy nutrition.
Onto our recipe now:
For my fish: I bought 2kgr of sprats, a couple of nice and mature tomatoes cut in slices, 3 chopped garlic gloves, as much oregano as you like – I used 2-3 handfuls, 1 glass of vegetables’ broth, a light sauce of 2 lemons and ½ cup of oil, salt and pepper
For my beetroot salad: As many as you like, I bought about 1 kgr, boiled water, salt. For the light sauce: olive oil and wine vinegar, salt.
Post cleaning my fishes well, I spread them on my baking tray and added salt, pepper, garlic and oregano. I then added the broth, so that it nearly covered my fish. I also added the light sauce and the tomatoes (with a pinch of salt). The rationale is that the fishes are firstly boiled in this nice broth inside the oven and then little by little they are roasted. Thus, they become juicy in the inside and kind of crispy on the outside. As they become actually dried out with this type of baking, when you are about to eat them you can add a little oil and lemon if you want them to be more vivid.
Now, on to the preparation of the beetroots: I divided the root from the rest of the vegetables as they need different boiling times and you need to peel off the skin from the roots, once boiled, as they have remainders of dirt. The vegetables have a boiling time of 10-15min and the roots 15-20min, both in medium heat. Once ready I cut them into pieces and add salt, wine vinegar, olive oil and a little juice from the water that I boiled the vegetables in.
Enjoy!
You HAVE to be a fish lover if you live on the Mediterranean. Looks delicious, although I have never had anything like this before.
Yes indeed! It s a classic dish in Greeks' homes..

Beautiful and yummy looking dish! Before we decided to go 100% plant-based we were huge fish lovers too.
My boyfriend has tried raw food a few times and was very satisfied..but couldn' t carry on as he is very greedy with food..
I want to try it too as I have a lot of gastrointestinal disturbances and that might help..
If you have a lot of gastrointestinal disturbances, lightly cooked/steamed veggies might be better since raw food makes your digestive system work harder. I struggled with bloating too for a great part of my life and adding more veggies, both cooked and raw + eating more slowly and 5-6 smaller meals instead of 3 big ones has saved my day. Take care and have a great day.
Many thanks for your advice.you are very kind!all the best and always be brave!
