Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

6 new potatoes

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

2 large onions -- chopped

1 garlic clove -- minced

2 tablespoons minced fresh oregano

or

1 tablespoon crumbled dried oregano

2 tablespoons dry white wine

2 cups fresh or canned chopped tomatoes

1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas -- drained and rinsed

1 1/2 cups cooked white beans -- drained and rinsed

8 oil-cured black olives, pitted, or a

combination of black and green olives

2 teaspoons capers

1/4 to 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

salt and freshly ground black pepper to

taste

 

In a large pot bring enough water to cover the potatoes to a boil. Add the

potatoes and gently simmmer until they're just cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Lift the potatoes out with a slotted spoon and let them cool.

 

Heat the the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add

the onions, garlic, and oregano. Reduce the heat to medium and saute, stirring

often, until the onions are soft and limp, about 8 minutes. Add the wine and

stir until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes.

 

Stir in the tomatoes, and cook, stirring often, until they start to thicken,

about 5 minutes. Add the chickpeas, white beans, olives, and capers. Cut the

potatoes into quarters and add them, too. Cover and continue cooking, stirring

occasionally, until the sauce is very thick, about 10 minutes. Stir in the

feta, if using. Season with salt and pepper.
