Potato And Olive Stew Recipes

POTATO AND OLIVE SALAD

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cover potatoes with 2 inches cold water. Add salt and bring to a boil over high heat; cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 10 minutes. Drain potatoes and return to pan. Add oil, vinegar, olives, and parsley. Toss to combine, and season with salt and pepper.

POTATO AND OLIVE STEW WITH TOMATO SAUCE

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.

POTATO AND OLIVE STEW

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.

POTATO AND GREEN OLIVE STEW

Steps:

• Combine olives and lemon juice in medium bowl. Let marinate at least 3 hours at room temperature, tossing occasionally. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
• Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add onions and sauté 5 minutes. Add potatoes, paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and olives with lemon juice; stir to blend. Add 1 1/2 cups water and bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Mix in tomatoes. Simmer uncovered until flavors blend, about 10 minutes longer. Season stew with salt. Transfer to bowl. Garnish with lemon wedges.

VEAL STEW WITH GREEN OLIVES AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Combine first 4 ingredients in 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Shake to coat veal. Remove veal; shake off excess flour. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add veal; sauté until brown, adding 1 tablespoon oil to skillet as needed, about 5 minutes. Transfer veal to 6-quart slow cooker. Add 1/2 tablespoon oil, then onions and carrots to skillet. Sauté 8 minutes. Add garlic; stir 1 minute. Transfer vegetables to slow cooker.
• Add wine to skillet; boil until reduced by 1/3, about 1 minute. Pour wine over veal. Add next 3 ingredients. Cover and cook until meat is tender, adding more water by 1/4 cupfuls if mixture is dry, about 4 hours. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cook potatoes in large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain. Divide potatoes among 4 bowls. Top with stew. Sprinkle with olives.

POTATO, ARTICHOKE, AND MUSHROOM STEW WITH KALAMATA OLIVES

Steps:

• Rinse the dried mushrooms, then soak them in a small bowl in about 1 cup water for 30 minutes. Lift out the softened mushrooms, leaving any grit behind, and squeeze the excess liquid out of them.
• Wash the potatoes thoroughly. If they are large, halve or quarter them. Add the potatoes, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, garlic, wine, and tomato sauce to the slow cooker insert.
• Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until potatoes are tender and the flavors are blended. About 30 minutes before serving, add the olives, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve garnished with rosemary or basil.
