Sweet Potato and Butter Bean Stew Recipe by Holly White

This Sweet Potato and Butter Bean Stew is the perfect winter warmer. Stews and casseroles also work really well in a slow cooker, which I’m convinced are going to have a revival soon. There’s a bit of chopping involved here, but there’s no need to chase perfection here. Some chunky vegetables make this more hearty.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
800g sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into small cubes
2 onions, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 x 400g tins of chopped tomatoes
500ml vegetable stock (page 000)
2 x 400g tins of butter beans, drained and rinsed
1 large bunch of fresh coriander, chopped
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
brown rice, to serve
coconut yogurt, to serve

Method:

Heat the oil in a casserole set over a medium heat. Add the chopped sweet potatoes, onion, garlic and spices.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes, until all the flavours have combined and the potatoes have a slight golden edge.
Add the tinned tomatoes and stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer with the lid half off for about 25 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Add the butter beans an cook for another 5 minutes to warm them through. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle over the chopped fresh coriander leaves.
Serve in warmed shallow bowls with steaming bowls of brown rice and a little coconut yogurt on the side.
