12 small whole onions (peeled)
6 medium potatoes (peeled and quartered)
2 stalks celery (cut into 1/4 inch pieces)
4 -5 pickled jalapeno peppers (seeded and chopped)

1
For the dough:.
2
Note--Make enough dough to cover the clay pot(s). I double or triple the recipe depending on how many clay bowls I need to cover.
3
Place flour in a bowl and mix in salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and add water. Mix together until dough is formed. Knead for 3-5 minutes. Cover and set aside until ready to use.
4
When ready, roll out dough on floured surface. Make sure the dough is large enough to cover the opening of the clay dish with at least 2 inches over hang. I divide the dough into the number of bowls I need to cover and roll out each separately.
5
For the filling:.
6
In a large bowl mix all ingredients except feta.
7
Transfer to clay pot(s) and top with feta.
8
Gently cover the container(s) and seal around the edge with your finger. A little water helps.
9
Place baking dish(s) on lowest rack in cold oven and turn heat to 275. Bake for 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
10
Turn off oven, open door, and allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before removing.
11
Serve hot.
