Tomato, Black Olive and Chickpea Stew with Fresh Shiitakes image

"While this stew is wonderful warm served over rice, it's surprisingly good cold. Pour leftovers over cottage cheese for a satisfying lunch or quickie dinner. The flavors meld as the stew sits, so it can even be made early in the day and served at room temperature." I saw this in Vegetarian Magazine, and can't wait to try it!

Time 53m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups chopped onions
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 lb fresh shiitake mushroom, stems finely chopped and caps cut into 1/2 inch thick slices
1/3 cup white wine
3 cups peeled whole tomatoes

1 tablespoon capers (not rinsed)
1/2 cup oil-cured black olive, pitted
1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Using dutch oven or other enameled cast-iron pot, heat over medium heat and add olive oil.
  • When oil is fragrant, reduced heat to medium-low and cook onions until translucent but not golden.
  • Add garlic and mushrooms and stir until soft and partially cooked, about 3 minutes.
  • Add wine and cook another 3-4 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking.
  • Add tomatoes, chickpeas, capers, olives, oregano, salt and pepper.
