Prep the ingredients

1. Cut the sweet potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Slice the red onions. Crush the garlic cloves. Finely chop the white onions. Drain and rinse the tinned red kidney beans. Juice the limes. Halve the Santini tomatoes. Leave some leaves whole to garnish, and chop the rest of the leaves of the fresh coriander.

Make the Rice Bowl

1. Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6.
2. Toss the sweet potato and red onion with half the oil, half the oregano, half the paprika and half the garlic, along with some salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Tip onto a baking tray and roast for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through, until the onions are crispy and the sweet potato is starting to caramelise and turn golden brown at the edges.
4. Heat the rest of the oil in a small saucepan and soften the white onion with a pinch of salt for about 5 minutes.
5. Add the rice and the remaining oregano, paprika and garlic, stir to coat, then cook for 15 seconds to lightly toast the rice.
6. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil, then cover with a lid and turn the heat down to low.
7. Cook for 25-30 minutes, until the rice is tender and the stock has evaporated.
8. Remove the lid and stir in the kidney beans.
9. Cover again with the lid, then turn off the heat but leave the pan on the hob to keep warm.
10. Meanwhile stone, peel and slice the avocado into long fingers and put in a bowl.
11. Squeeze over the lime and add the chilli flakes, vinegar and tomatoes.
12. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and mix in half the chopped coriander.
13. Stir the remaining chopped coriander into the rice and divide between 2 bowls.
