Ingredients
1 brown onion, diced
5 white potatoes, peeled and cut into medium cubes
2 tbsp paprika
2 tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp cracked black pepper
2 tbsp tomato paste
400g canned diced tomatoes
300-400g green beans, trimmed

Method
Place a heavy pot on medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Add onion in and sweat down for a few minutes, don’t burn, add cold water if needed. Add in paprika, oregano, pepper and a big pinch of salt with more oil. Allow to sizzle and mix through over a minute. Add tomato paste, mix through and cook out for a minute. Add in the white potatoes and mix through for a minute just to seal them.
Add in canned tomatoes, refill can twice with water and add in (800ml worth) and bring to a high simmer. Once high simmer has reached, add in green beans, mix through, season with salt and allow to simmer for 45-50 minutes. Cook until potatoes can be pierced with a fork easily. Season with salt to taste, and enjoy with bread or rice.
