Ingredients:
1 Kohlrabi
1 Potato
1 Red onion
2 Garlic cloves
1 Can chopped tomatoes
1 tbsp Tomato puree
70 g Kalamata olives (approx 10-12 olives)
3 tbsp Olive oil
2 tbsp Oregano
150 g Feta
Recipe:
- Peel the kohlrabi and cut both the potato and kohlrabi into chunks. Finely chop the onion and garlic. Place a large frying pan over a medium heat and add 2 tbsp of olive oil. Saute the onion, garlic and 1 tablespoon of oregano for 3-4 minutes, until fragrant. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Add the kohlrabi, potato, chopped tomatoes and tomato puree to the pan. Add enough water to just cover the vegetables, and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes, or until the veggies are just cooked.
- Remove the lid, add the kalamata olives and cook for an extra 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the vegetables are cooked to your liking.
- Cut the feta into chunks, place in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Season with 1 tablespoon of oregano and mix until coated. Serve hot with the feta on top. Enjoy!
