- Sweet potatoes (large) 2
- Tomato paste 5tbs
- Bouillon/vegetable stock 1tsp
- Black beans (canned or soaked if dried) 240g
-
Spinach 120G
- Cayenne pepper ½tsp
- Chilli powder ½tsp
- Chopped tomato (fresh or canned) 240g
- White onion (large) 1
- Kidney beans (canned or soaked if dried) 240g
- Garlic 3 cloves
- Cumin 1tsp
- Cinnamon 1tsp
- Celery 3 stalks Celery
TOPPINGS (OPTIONAL)
- Coriander
Cooking Method
Step 1
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes and chop into roughly 2 cm cubes.
Step 2
Half fill a pan with water and bring to the boil. Drop the sweet potatoes into the water and boil for 15-20 mins or until tender.
Step 3
While you are waiting for the sweet potatoes, peel and dice the onion.
Step 4
Heat a large heavy-based pan to med-high heat and place the onions inside. Fry for a few minutes before pouring in half a cup of water, followed by the bouillon/vegetable stock.
Step 5
Add in the spices and garlic, followed by the tomato paste and chopped tomatoes. Throw in the black beans and kidney beans. Stir well.
Step 6
Reduce the heat and leave the sauce to simmer.
Step 7
Dice the celery. Pulse the spinach in the food processor. In order to maintain the nutritional benefits of these ingredients it is important they are added in at the end so they are heated, but not cooked.
Step 8
Strain the sweet potatoes and add them to the sauce. Gently stir in, being careful to keep the cubes intact.
Step 9
Add the celery and spinach. Stir a few more times.
Step 10
Divide the chilli into four serving bowls. Top with a few coriander leaves if desired.
