Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 40 minutes
Total time: 1 hour 10 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients

4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 red Thai chilli, deseeded and  finely chopped
4 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tsp coriander seeds, lightly crushed
2 tsp cumin seeds, lightly crushed
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
4 tbsp vegetable oil 
750g Charlotte potatoes, cut into 2cm pieces
2 Romano red peppers, deseeded and cut into chunks
500g red onions, thinly sliced
500g tomatoes, skinned and roughly chopped

Method

1. Mix together the garlic, chilli, soy sauce, coriander and cumin seeds and vinegar.
