Background
If you're looking for a chilli sin carne recipe, do try this Sweet potato and kidney beans chilli! I made it with extra spicy chipotle paste - if youβre using normal one, add more if you want it to have a real kick! Serve it with rice, flatbread and a crispy salad. Also, you can add a dollop of sour cream if liked.
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, organic
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 carrot
- 1 red pepper
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp spicy chipotle paste
- 1 Tbsp tomato purée
- 1 tin plum tomatoes
- 1 tin kidney beans, drained
- 100g baby spinach
- To serve: fresh coriander leaves, sour cream or lime juice
Instructions
- Cut the sweet potatoes and carrot into bite-sized chunks. (If the sweet potatoes are organic β donβt peel them!). Slice the red pepper.
- Finely slice the onion and garlic.
- Heat the oil in a large pan and gently sautΓ© the onion and garlic for about 5 minutes until soft.
- Add the sweet potatoes, red pepper and carrot. Gently cook under cover for about 8 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- Add the spices, stir for a minute then add the pastes. Stir well to coat then add the tinned tomatoes. Rinse the tin with some water and add this to the stews β enough to cover the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Rinse and drain the beans then add to the stew.
- Cover and gently simmer for 15-25 minutes - until the veggies are cooked through and the sauce is nice and thick.
- Rinse the spinach and add to the stew. Put the cover on and let it steam for a couple of minutes, then stir through the stew.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
- Serve warm with some coriander leaves scattered over it and a dollop of sour cream or a squeeze of lime juice.
