Heat half of the olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the onion and fry gently for around 10 minutes, or until soft and translucent. Add the garlic, oregano and spices.
Continue to cook for a couple more minutes then season with salt and pepper. Add 100ml/3Β½fl oz water and leave to simmer for a couple of minutes.
