INSTRUCTIONS
A ragout (ra-GOO) is a well-seasoned stew-like dish; this one, unlike most, is meatless. When cooked, the potatoes should be so soft that they fall apart; this helps thicken the dish. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skilled over medium-high heat. Add onion, and saute 10 minutes or until soft, stirring frequently. Add tomato; cook 10 minutes or until the liquid almost evaporates, stirring frequently. Add potato and next 6 ingredients (potato through bay leaves); bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 40 minutes or until potato is tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in olives; cook an additional 5 minutes. Discard thyme and bay leaves. Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 3/4 cup).
