Potato And Olive Stew With Tomato Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Put a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Cut 1 1/2 pounds large red-skinned potatoes lengthwise into eighths. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 pint cherry tomatoes, 3 sprigs rosemary, 3 smashed garlic cloves, and salt and pepper. Put cut-side down on the hot baking sheet and roast 15 minutes. Flip the mixture and roast 10 more minutes.

Steps:

• In a large, heavy and deep non-reactive skillet, heat the olive oil over high heat and saute the potatoes until they turn a golden brown on all sides, about five minutes. They don't need to cook through because they will continue cooking in the sauce.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Remove potatoes from skillet and add onions, saute until transparent, about three minutes, then add the garlic and chili pepper. After a few seconds, pour in the wine and add the oregano, tomatoes and olives. Cook for one minute, then remove from heat.
• Place potatoes in clay or glass ovenproof pan that can hold them in one layer. Pour sauce over them and bake uncovered for 30 to 45 minutes -- adding a little water if needed -- or until the potatoes are tender. Taste after 15 minutes and add salt if needed -- the olives are quite salty -- or more chili pepper. Sprinkle with parsley and serve while still hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle veal generously with salt and pepper. Add veal and onions to pot. Sauté until veal is no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Mix in potatoes and oregano, then tomatoes. Bring stew to simmer. Cover pot; transfer to oven. Bake until veal and vegetables are tender, about 2 hours. Season stew to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle stew into shallow soup bowls and serve.

Steps:

• To make meatballs, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over low heat. Add zucchini and saute until softened, about 10 minutes. Add onions and chili and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and stir in bulgur and milk. Let stand until wheat absorbs liquid and becomes soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, mix the ground beef with the egg, garlic, mint, parsley and ouzo or wine. Stir in the zucchini and bulgur mixture. Add Parmesan and salt and mix well. Let stand at least 1 hour or prepare the night before.
• Meanwhile, to make the stew, preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large, heavy and deep nonreactive skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and saute until golden brown on all sides, about 15 minutes. Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon.
• Add onions and cook until transparent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, chili pepper, wine, oregano, tomatoes and olives. Cook for 1 minute. Place potatoes in a clay or glass baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer. Season with salt.
• Pour sauce over the potatoes and bake, adding a little water if needed, until potatoes are tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Taste and season with added salt if needed. Set aside and keep warm.
• Preheat broiler. Take a heaping tablespoon of the meatball mixture in your hand and shape into a ball. Place on a broiler pan and broil until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes, turning once. Place the meatballs over the stew, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Cook green beans, potatoes, and garlic in oil with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a 5-quart heavy pot over medium-high heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften and stick to bottom of pot, about 10 minutes.
• Pulse tomatoes with their juice several times in a food processor until coarsely chopped, then add to vegetables. Add water and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Mash a few potatoes into sauce and season with salt and pepper.
