Cook: 25 - 30 minutes

Serves: 4

A quick-fix supper that will bring the scent of the Greek Isles to your kitchen. Serve with whatever green vegetable is in season for a meal that’s sure to please. I rarely cook with extra virgin olive oil but make an exception for this dish as the flavour is outstanding.

Method:

  • Heat oven to 200°C and line the base of a roasting tin with baking parchment.

  • Cook the new potatoes in boiling salted water for 12-15 minutes, depending on size, until they can be pierced easily with a knife. Drain, cut into quarters and set aside.
