Man - I am looking forward to trying some of these!
My contribution, Greek Potatoes with Chicken. You will need:
Some potatoes (two good sized ones per person. More if you're feeling hungry.)
1xChicken breast per person. (You can use thighs, they need longer cooking.)
2 Lemons
2-3 cloves of garlic
Oregono - fresh is best but dried still works.
Lashings of the best olive oil you can find.
Peel the potatoes and slice thickly (about as wide as your pinkie finger.) Lay your slices into a wide shallow dish.
Peel and roughly chop the garlic. Chop the oregono (if you're using fresh.) Squeeze the lemons. Tip half the lemon juice and half the garlic over the potatoes. Liberally sprinkle on most of the Oregano. Pour water into the dish until the potatoes are just about covered. Add a generous glug of Olive Oil. Place the dish into a medium oven and forget about it for about two hours.
MEANWHILE. Put your chicken in a dish. Add the rest of your garlic, oregono and lemon juice, and another good glug of olive oil. Mix it all up so that the chicken is well coated and put it in the fridge to marinade.
After your two hours are up, take the dish of potatoes out of the oven. Tip in the chicken. Put it back in the oven for half an hour.
After half an hour drain off any excess water. Put it back for another half an hour.
After that, serve.
You can also add tomatoes for the last hour, and you can use prok or lamb instead of chicken. Great when you have guests because although it takes ages to cook, for most of the time you don't have to do anything.
