Guest guest Posted March 22, 2001 Report Share Posted March 22, 2001 Vegetarian Mediterranean Potato Casserole 1 pound new red potatoes, sliced 3 tablespoons olive oil 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped 2 medium red onions, sliced thin 1 tablespoon crushed lovage or sage 1 tablespoon thyme 1 teaspoon tamari sauce or soy sauce pepper 4 tomatoes sliced 1 cup pitted black olives, sliced in half 1 cup Parmesan cheese parsley Steam the potatoes until they are soft but still firm (if that makes any sense). You want them to be soft, but not to the point that they will fall apart when lifted. Set aside. In a small skillet, saute the garlic, onions, and herbs until the onions become translucent. Remove them from the heat. In a medium-sized bowl, mix the potatoes and the onions. Add the tamari and pepper to taste. In a casserole, begin layering the ingredients. First, place the onions and potatoes on the bottom of the tray. Cover this with the tomatoes and olives. Finally, cover this with the cheese. Continue to layer in this order until there aren't any more ingredients. Bake this in an oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes with a loose tinfoil cover. Uncover the mixture and cook for another 20 minutes or until brown on top. Garnish with the parsley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2001 Report Share Posted March 22, 2001 Thanks, for posting this one, Dancer. It sparked memories from long ago. Eastern Mediterranean People make a MAIN dish very similar to this - additions are beans of your choice and as colorful as you wish and Rosemary, Paprika and Cayenne (I like to add sliced hot, Hungarian Peppers, also) - and - use salt instead of Soy. (Soy is not a typical Med. ingred.) Top each serving with a dollop a sour cream (if diet allows) ;-) Serve with: A crisp salad of mixed greens, garlic, onions, tomatoes, olives, hot pepper circles and anything else you want to add - or - a hearty cabbage slaw. Dress either with a vinaigrette of your choice. ( " Wilted " salads or a serving platter with sliced onions, hot Hungarian or finger type peppers, sliced tomatoes etc. are traditional in some areas.) Lots of fresh, warm bread - preferably with a crisp, crunchy top. Bev. of your choice (wine is traditional) Makes a wonderful, delicious, hearty meal !! Enjoy !!!
