mezze platter

Mediterranean small plates

A mezze platter is an assortment of small dishes served together as appetizers or a shared meal, originating in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines.

A typical spread includes hummus, baba ganoush, falafel, olives, pita bread, and pickled vegetables.

The platter encourages communal eating—guests pick and choose, making a meal of many tastes: We ordered a mezze platter to share while we caught up.
