Mediterranean-leaning.
The Mediterranean pattern is the best-studied of the traditional diets, and most of its foundation is already this pantry: olive oil, legumes, whole grains, vegetables. These recipes lean hardest that way, with nearly every ingredient sitting in a food group the pyramid recommends. Nothing is certified here, just counted.

Aaron Chow Lunch
A thick, boldly spiced one-pot stew of over a dozen vegetables, grains, and legumes, brightened with lime and vinegar. Nearly a complete meal in one bowl.
Burrito Bowl
Lime-brightened rice, spiced black beans and corn, and a tangle of quick-pickled onion for punch. The beans come together while the rice cooks, and it packs cold into a lunch box.
Chana Masala
Chickpeas simmered into a thick, spiced tomato gravy. Tangy, warming, and even better scooped up the next day.
Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
A soft-baked sweet potato split open over warm-spiced crispy chickpeas, warm spinach, and a garlicky lemon-tahini drizzle, finished with a scatter of pepitas. The oven does the work — barely any cleanup.
Contains sesame
Three-Bean Chili
Thick and smoky, with some of the beans mashed into the pot for body and a bright splash of vinegar at the end. Even better the next day.
Tofu Scramble
A savory, protein-heavy breakfast in one pan — crumbled tofu browned, then coated in a golden turmeric sauce. The counterweight to a sweet bowl of oats.
Contains soy
