This Sweet Potato & Black Bean Stew is the perfect comforting dish to make during this cold weather.

It has been my most popular recipe to date going viral on multiple platforms.

The reviews at the bottom of the recipe says it all. Super easy to make and delicious! Make sure to give it a try.

It is so simple to make and extremely inexpensive, costing around £4-£5 for the whole dish. That is roughly £1 a portion!!!

It’s gluten free, vegan and is absolutely packed full of colour, flavour and goodness.

Sweet Potato & Black Bean Stew

You can always adapt this recipe to use what you have, for example swap the sweet potatoes for butternut squash and the black beans for lentils.

One of the best parts about this recipe is there is minimal prep and you simply chuck all the ingredients into one-pot to cook down.

No hassle, minimal effort and incredibly simple to make.

Instructions

  • Firstly peel and chop the sweet potatoes into small cubes and dice the red onion
  • Heat a large pot on a medium heat with olive oil, garlic, onion with a pinch of salt & pepper and fry for a couple minutes
  • Add all the spices and mix together before adding the sweet potato along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Fry together for a couple minutes making sure to stir
  • Add the tinned tomatoes, tomato puree, black beans, veg stock and a pinch of pepper and mix together

Notes

Try serving it with a side of quinoa or brown rice.
You can refrigerate this in a sealed container for 2-3 days. It is also suitable for freezing so you have a quick and healthy meal another day.
