Another Gent night contender that would make a nice vegetarian main course or an accompaniment. I've increased the garlic from a measly 2 cloves in the original recipe to about 6 as I can't imagine any self-respecting Spaniard ever putting just 2 Cloves of garlic in a dish to serve 6 people!
Be bold, vary the vegetables to match what you have lying around at the time.
This was a very nice, and very easy vegetable dish, it will be made again.

Chef's notes
Never one to resist playing around, I added 1/2 a glass of red wine and a big pinch of chilli flakes to the tomato sauce.
I think that in future I would finish under a grill to really crisp up the potatoes.
