This meal somehow got moved from its intended night to the next day. Funny how things like this can happen at my home...
This casserole is mostly like a layered potato dish, but without milk or cheese (nondairy, of course). Instead it has fresh tomatoes, olives and an herb paste - garlic, basil, parsley and oregano - topped with fresh bread crumbs.
I have to say that fresh bread crumbs are the way to go - just take a few pieces of bread and grind them in a food processor or blender. It tastes so much better than dried crumbs.
As for the casserole, it was a refreshing dish, with the fresh tomatoes and herbs, but the kids weren't that into it.
It didn't have the big, bold flavors that I expected, but I was still pleased. A bountiful bowl of fresh crisp salad was just the perfect accompaniment to the creamy potatoes.
Cost Breakdown:
