Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups finely chopped onions
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 pounds red-skinned sweet potatoes (yams; about 2 medium), peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cups orange juice
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 15- to 16-ounce cans black beans, rinsed, drained
2 poblano chilies, seeded, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
Sour cream (optional)
Avocado slices (optional)
Orange wedges (optional)
Polenta Triangles

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until tender, about 10 minutes. Add ginger, chili powder and cumin and stir 2 minutes. Add sweet potatoes, orange juice and garlic and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until sweet potatoes are almost tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir beans, poblano chilies and bell pepper into sweet potato mixture. Cover and simmer until chilies are tender, about 15 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over low heat before continuing, stirring occasionally.)
  • Divide stew among 4 bowls. Top with sour cream, avocado and orange, if desired. Serve with Polenta Triangles.

I found that the stew was a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a hotter chili powder than the recipe called for.

This recipe was easy to follow and the stew came out great! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still very flavorful.

I'm not a huge fan of black beans, but I really enjoyed this stew. The sweet potatoes and chard balanced out the flavor of the beans perfectly.
