Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 TBS olive oil
2 Sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1 inch cubes
1 sweet onion, peeled and roughly diced
1 red pepper, seeds removed and chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
2 cloves garlic minced
1 TBS chili powder
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp cayenne or red pepper flakes (optional)
3 or 4 Cups vegetable broth
14.5 oz can of black beans, rinsed and drained (or cooked beans)
1 pint of cherry or grape tomatoes (sliced in half)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
shredded cheddar to serve or chunks of avocado

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottom pot over medium heat. Add sweet potatoes, onion, red pepper and garlic, stirring to coat with oil. Saute until onion and peppers are soft about 4 minutes. 2. Add chili powder and cumin (+ cayenne/pepper flakes if you are using it) and stir well. Reduce heat to medium, cover and allow potatoes to soften about 7-8 minutes. Stir occasionally. 3. Once potatoes are fork tender, add broth, black beans and tomatoes. Bring it to a boil, stirring well and scraping all the bits off the bottom of the pot. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for another 15 minutes (or longer). 4. Before serving, stir in cilantro and lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with chunks of ripe avocado or cheddar cheese shreds.

This stew is a great meal prep option. I make a big batch on the weekend and then eat it throughout the week for lunch or dinner.

I'm a vegetarian and I love this stew! I omit the meat and add extra vegetables, such as carrots and celery.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I had some roasted sweet potatoes from Thanksgiving and they worked perfectly in this stew.

I made this stew in my slow cooker and it turned out great! I let it cook on low for 8 hours and the meat was so tender and flavorful.

I added some chopped spinach to this stew and it was delicious! The spinach added a nice pop of color and nutrients.

This stew was easy to make and so flavorful! I used canned black beans to save time, and it still turned out great. I served it with rice and it was a perfect meal.

I'm not a huge fan of sweet potatoes, but this stew was amazing! The sweetness of the potatoes balanced out the spice of the black beans perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.
