Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 pounds golf ball-size baby potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound cipollini onions
1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, and more for brushing
1 bunch fresh oregano
1 cup mixed olives, such as Kalamata, Castelvetrano, and Cerignola
1 1/2 pounds halibut steaks or skin-on fillets (about 1 1/2 inches thick), preferably Alaskan
1 ciabatta or other rustic loaf, split
Peppery greens, such as arugula and dandelion, for serving

Steps:

  • In a pot, cover potatoes with 2 inches water; generously season with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat; cook 8 minutes. Add onions; continue boiling until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife and onions are crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes more. Drain; let cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, peel onions.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high. In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together vinegar, mustard, and 1/2 cup oil. Chop enough oregano to yield 3 tablespoons (from 2 to 3 sprigs) and stir into vinaigrette with olives; season with salt and pepper. In another bowl, toss potatoes and onions with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Brush fish and remaining oregano sprigs with oil; season with salt and pepper.
  • Brush grates with oil, add vegetables, and grill, turning a few times, 6 minutes. Add fish to grill and top with oregano. Cook fish and vegetables, turning fish once halfway through, until fish is just cooked and vegetables are charred in places and tender, 8 to 10 minutes more. Transfer to dish with vinaigrette, turning to evenly coat. Let stand, turning a few times, until no longer hot but still warm, 10 minutes. Meanwhile, grill split side of bread until charred in places, 1 to 2 minutes; slice. Serve fish, vegetables, and vinaigrette over greens, with grilled bread.

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces haricot vert, trimmed
12 fingerling potatoes
1 tablespoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon clover honey
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup extra-virgin Greek olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Canola oil, for grilling
8 ounces feta, crumbled
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives
2 tablespoons lightly chopped fresh oregano
Fresh parsley leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the haricot vert until al dente, about 90 seconds. Shock in ice water, drain well, chop in halves or thirds and reserve.
  • Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover with 2 inches cold water and add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil and cook until a small knife inserted into the center of the potato meets with some resistance, about 5 minutes. Drain well, place on a baking sheet and let cool slightly. Halve lengthwise.
  • Whisk the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, honey and salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
  • Heat the grill to medium heat. Toss the potatoes with canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown in spots, tossing occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove and toss with some of the vinaigrette.
  • Combine the potatoes, green beans, feta cheese, olives and oregano in a bowl. Toss with more of the vinaigrette, taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary. Scatter the parsley leaves over the top and drizzle with a bit more olive oil.

GRILLED POTATOES



Grilled Potatoes image

Crispy grilled potatoes are easy and a perfect side to any BBQ recipe. Golden outside, tender inside, with no boiling or clean up required!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds baby red potatoes (or baby gold potatoes)
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Grated parmesan (optional for serving)
Chopped fresh herbs such as parsley (rosemary, or basil, optional for serving)

Steps:

  • Rinse and dry the potatoes (no need to peel). Cut crosswise into ½-inch slices (if your potatoes are smaller than a golf ball, you can halve or quarter them). Place in a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the rosemary, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and oregano.
  • Drizzle the potatoes with the oil, then sprinkle the spices over the top. Toss to evenly coat.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high (about 375 to 400 degrees F).
  • Place two large (about 22 to 24 inches long) sheets of heavy-duty foil down on a large baking sheet (you'll use the baking sheet for easy transport) so that the foil pieces are slightly overlapping down the center to create a wider sheet. Coat with non-stick spray. Spread the potatoes onto the foil in a single layer (if you prefer not to have the food touch the foil, you can add a layer of parchment in between). Place two more overlapping sheets of foil on top, then fold up the edges all the way around to seal and create a packet. Leave some space towards the top of the packet to allow the air to circulate.
  • Using the baking sheet, carry the potatoes out to the grill, then with tongs slide the packet onto the grill. Cover then cook for 15 minutes.
  • Carefully open the foil then use the tongs to flip the potatoes over. They should be deeply golden on the first side (if not, continue to cook them for 3 to 5 minutes more). Place the foil loosely back over the top, close the grill, and cook for 5 to 10 additional minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pieced with a fork.
  • Slide the potato packet back onto the baking sheet, then transfer them to a serving bowl (or serve them right off of the foil). Serve warm, with a sprinkle of Parmesan and chopped fresh herbs as desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Red Bliss or fingerling potatoes, hold their shape well when grilled and are less likely to fall apart.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. If the potatoes are cut too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not get crispy on the outside.
  • Parboil the potatoes: This step is optional, but it helps to reduce the cooking time of the potatoes and gives them a slightly crispy exterior.
  • Season the potatoes well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil to help the potatoes brown.
  • Grill the potatoes over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning. Cook the potatoes until they are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: Grilled potatoes are best enjoyed hot off the grill. You can serve them with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tzatziki or chimichurri.

Conclusion:

Grilled potatoes and olives are a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
