Fried Saganaki with Halloumi on a Greek Tomato Salad with Kalamata Olives

Food on Friday:  Mediterranean Food demonstrated the wide range of foods used in the Med.  I have chosen a few dishes to inspire you today.  If you would like to check all the dishes out at a glance,  just head on over to this Pinboard

Thanks to Lisa's Kitchen for her scrumptious looking Fried Saganaki with Halloumi on a Greek Tomato Salad with Kalamata Olives (boy that was a recipe title and a half!)

Eggplant is a bit of a nemesis of mine, but this Baked Eggplant Parmesan Stack by Tara from Little Miss Dexterous may be just the ticket!

Kopiaste brought us this great Chocolate Honey Baklava Tart

Thanks, Gerlinde from Cooking Weekends for this Moussaka – doesn't the top look just glorious!

And I love the clean look of this Baked Cod on pea puree with beurre blanc sauce by Jenny Eatwell's Rhubarb & Ginger

Finally, thanks go to Kirsten of Farm Fresh Feasts for her Mediterranean Shrimp Salad for Two
