Pre-heat the oven to 180C/gas mark 4. Mix together the cornmeal, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl combine the eggs, oil and soya milk or yogurt.

Add the wet mixture to the cornmeal mixture and combine them thoroughly. Add the chopped chillies and pour into a lightly oiled 20cm x 20cm baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes or until the bread is coming away from the sides, risen and golden.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large pan. Add the onion and garlic and cook over a moderate heat for 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and the stock. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for a further 10 minutes. Season and serve piping hot with the cornbread.
