Finishing & Serving:

Instructions
Preheat a large stew pot over medium heat.
Add the olive oil, onions and salt and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring a few times.
Add the rest of the ingredients and stir through. Pop the lid on top and cook over medium heat for 40-45 minutes until potatoes are nice and soft.
Stir a few times and check the heat, it should not be boiling but rather simmering or bubbling away. Add the tapioca flour mixed in extra water, as a thickener and simmer for 10 more minutes.
Serve with a squeeze of lemon zest, fresh herbs, and bread for dipping!
