Potatoes With Onions Olives And Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a medium or large saucepan and pour over enough water to cover by about 2 inches. Set pan over high heat and bring water to a boil. Boil 8 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender.
• Drain and transfer potatoes to a large bowl. While potatoes are still warm, add olives, tomatoes, onion, olive oil, vinegar, and thyme and toss to combine. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Dribble 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a 2-quart rectangular or 14-inch-by-8-inch-by 2-inch oval baking dish and scatter 1/4 of the minced garlic over the bottom of the pan.
• Arrange the vegetables in layers, starting with the potatoes and peppers and finishing with the tomatoes and onion.
• Sprinkle salt, freshly ground pepper, and oregano and about 1/4 of the garlic between each layer.
• Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the surface and bake for 1 1/2 hours or until fork-tender.
• Note: The easiest way to slice the potatoes is with a mandoline. Remember that the thicker the potato slices, the longer it will take to bake.
• Note2: As I have wonderful dried oregano from Greece, I use that as it is better than what I can get fresh.

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 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Fill a large pot about halfway with water, and add the potatoes. Set on the stove over high heat and bring to a boil. Boil for about 20 minutes or until tender. Drain potatoes and rinse with cool water. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then cut into thick slices.
• Add the olive oil to a heavy pan set over medium heat. Cook the onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, chili, and oregano and cook, stirring, for another minute. Stir in the sugar, vinegar, and tomatoes. Add a couple pinches of salt and a bit of freshly ground black pepper. Taste and add additional salt if you'd like.
• Add the potatoes to the baking dish and top with olives. Toss lightly. Pour the tomato mixture over the top. Crumble the feta over the tomatoes, drizzle with a little olive oil, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon oregano.
• Bake for 25 - 30 miinutes until heated through.
• Serve hot, topping individual servings with dollops of yogurt and lemon juice as desired.
