  1. Put the oil in a large pot on a medium heat and, when hot, add the sliced fennel and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, until coloured and softening.
  2. Once fennel is softened, stir in the garlic and salt, cook for five minutes more
  3. Add the wine and leave it to bubble away for a couple of minutes.
  4. Add the paprika, tomatoes, potatoes, chickpeas and 200ml water, then cover the pan and leave to cook for 20 minutes (until the potatoes are fork tender).
  5. Stir in the sliced artichokes and 250ml water, cook for another five minutes, then take off the heat; add more water, if need be, to make it as stewy as you like it.
