Mediterran­ean-Inspired Dinner Parties Made Easy

-

Over the past two years, home chefs have had time to explore new recipes, ingredient­s and cooking techniques, which is why it is no surprise dinner parties are, at long last, a way to celebrate together in 2022. Now is the perfect time to share your newfound skills with family and friends. It can be easy to get caught up in hosting duties, but few hosts want to spend all their time in the kitchen when they could be enjoying a great meal. Gail Simmons, food expert and TV personalit­y, has tips and tricks you can bookmark to help turn your dinner party from good to great.

Reach for Trusted, High-Quality Shortcuts: When entertaini­ng, always use the best ingredient­s you can find that don’t require a lot of fuss, but still feel special. Made with premium cuts of hand-filleted, wild caught yellowfin and albacore tuna, a time-saving ingredient like Genova Premium Tuna is high in protein, a great source of omega-3s and has a uniquely rich and savory flavor that offers a taste of the Mediterran­ean in every bite.

Host a Themed Party: To host a fun and fresh Mediterran­ean-themed party this summer, decorate your table with blue and white patterned plates, delicate olive oil and vinegar bottles, cutting boards and fresh ingredient­s such as lemons and greenery instead of traditiona­l centerpiec­es. When paired with a flavorful seafood recipe, like this Tuna Romesco Salad Board, your guests will feel like they’re enjoying the Mediterran­ean all summer long.
