Greek Potato Salad

This salad is one of my favorites! Chunky potatoes are tossed with capers, olives, feta cheese, fresh dill, scallions, olives are then coated in a very yummy yogurt and lemon dressing to create a greek style potato salad.

Ingredients

1 lb potatoes-peeled
2 scallions (spring onions)-finely chopped
2 teaspoons capers
10 kalamata olives-pitted and halved
3 oz (90g) feta cheese-crumbled
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon sugar
¼ cup Greek-style yogurt
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

CUT the potatoes into bite-size pieces and boil in a large pot of boiling water until just tender. DRAIN the potatoes, then allow to cool while you prepare the other ingredients. IN a small bowl dissolve the sugar in the lemon juice and mix together with the olive oil, yogurt, salt and pepper until well combined. PLACE the cooked potatoes in a large bowl. SCATTER the scallions, capers, olives, feta cheese and dill on top then toss gently to combine. DRIZZLE the yogurt dressing over the top and mix through to evenly coat the potato.

Then brown the chicken pieces and the sliced onion in a casserole dish. Add the sliced garlic, the spices (saffron and grated ginger), salt and pepper and add 2 deciliters of chicken stock (so that the liquid cover the pieces of chicken). Cover the casserole dish and let the whole ingredients cook until the chicken is completely done. 5 minutes before the end of the cooking add the pieces of lemon and the olives. Finish the cooking.

Pour in a tajine dish (if you've got one) and sprinkle with fresh chopped coriander. Serve with hot semolina (couscous).
