A comforting Cypriot stew and fragrant pull-apart loaf are the perfect way to bring bold Mediterranean flavours to the table on chilly nights. Her hearty pea and potato stew combines mince, vegetables and warming spices, while her seeded loaf is designed to be pulled apart and shared around the table. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it darkens slightly and becomes fragrant. In a large bowl, sift the flour and add the salt, ground fennel, ground aniseed, cinnamon, cloves, mastic and mahlepi. Gradually add the lukewarm water, a little at a time, mixing with your hands or a fork until a soft dough forms.
