Pashtida

Submitted by Sarah Chana

"My friend Rachel was visiting from Israel last week and made a delicious pashtida for us. Unfortunately, she left before I could get her recipe, though I will try to track it down. While looking for other pashtida recipes on the net, I chanced upon this one by Joan Nathan. Haven't tried it yet, but with these ingredients, how can it be bad? Let me know what you think."

Not 8 servings with teenagers in the house! Tastes good and smells wonderful cooking! Very easy to make. Might want to clarify that you cut up the potatoes first, otherwise it will take way more than 20 minutes to boil them.
