Welcome to Episode 4/10 of Greek Blue Zone. A series where I’ll be sharing recipes for longevity. Today we are making Longevity Ikarian Stew. This dish is believed to contribute to the outstanding longevity of the residents of Ikaria, a Greek Island in the Aegean Sea.

🧿 Comment ‘recipe’ below if you want the recipe for this Soup— it will be sent directly to your DM’s. All my recipes are on foodbymaria dot com 🧿 also linked in my bio! 

One of the factors that makes this a Blue Zone is the diet that they follow which is incredibly Mediterranean diet-focused. Rich in unprocessed ingredients, organic, homemade red wine, frequent walks, deep social connection, love of family and pure, clean air. You probably can’t just pick up and move to a Greek Island right now so this new Blue Zone Series aims to bring you 10 easy, longevity-inspired recipes that you can enjoy in the comfort of your own home. It is believed that the rough terrain for walks and isolated, calm island life is what makes Ikarian’s more resilient and strong.

The stew is so warming and delicious. I can see why this version is made on the Greek island and surrounding areas. The simple, organic, clean ingredients make all the difference and truly warm your heart from the inside out.

I suggest trying to soup and enjoying it around a table with your favorite people, loved ones and family. Maybe it’ll inspire you to go for a walk post-dinner and have deep meaningful conversations…

You can find the full recipe on www.foodbymaria.com (link in bio) or the quick version below. If you want to be the first to find out about our new recipes be sure to sign up for our email newsletter.
