Pepper and olive cacciatore

Method

  1. Peel the potatoes, cut them into 3 cm chunks and put them in a pan of salted water. Slice the peppers into strips and the onion into thin wedges. Crush the garlic, halve the olives and drain and rinse the cannellini beans.
  2. Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Cook the peppers and onion with a pinch of salt for 10 minutes, until softened and starting to colour.
  3. Stir in the garlic, oregano and rosemary for 1 minute, then pour in the wine and let it bubble for 2 minutes.
  4. Add the chopped tomatoes, beans, olives, capers and 100 ml of water. Simmer with the lid slightly ajar for 20 minutes, until the peppers are very tender and the sauce is rich.
  5. Meanwhile, bring the potatoes to the boil and cook for 15 minutes, until tender. Drain, and put them back in the pan with a pinch of salt.
  6. Season the stew with black pepper and spoon it over the potatoes.

Tip Drain the olives and capers well, as brine makes the stew too salty. A splash of vinegar can stand in for the capers if you have none.
