Ingredients

4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks (a firm, creamy variety like Desiree works well)
3 tbsp rapeseed oil
12 small shallots, peeled
1 tsp paprika
3 cloves garlic
2 tins chopped tomatoes
850ml vegetable stock
1 bay leaf
2 tbsp oregano
2 tbsp chopped parsley
1 handful fresh basil

200g Feta cheese, cut into cubes
12 pitted black olives
Sea salt and black pepper

Preheat the oven to 180°C / Fan 160°C / Gas 4/5.

Heat the oil in a casserole dish and fry the shallots until slightly golden, add the potatoes and paprika and fry over a gentle heat for approximately 2 minutes, stirring all the time to avoid sticking.
