Heat the oil in a frying pan over a low-medium heat. Chop the onion and garlic and fry for 8-10 minutes to soften.
Heat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C fan/gas 7. Add the oregano and tomatoes to the pan. Rinse the tins with a little water and add. Bubble for 15-20 minutes, stirring now and then. Mash the tomatoes lightly, then season (see tip).
Pour the sauce into a 20cm x 30cm baking dish. Crumble the feta on top and add the prawns. Bake for 5-8 minutes until the prawns are pink and the feta is lightly browned. Dot with the oregano leaves.
Peel and slice the cucumber into a bowl, tear in the dill, then add lemon juice and oil. Season and serve with the prawns and good bread.
