Vegan Sweet Potato And Black Bean Chilli Gf Food

VEGAN SWEET POTATO AND BLACK BEAN CHILLI (GF)

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan on medium heat. Add the onion and stir occasionally for 4-5 minutes.
• Next, add the chopped garlic, chilli, and sweet potato cubes and cook for a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• After a few minutes, stir in the tomato puree, tinned tomatoes, black beans, Marmite, Henderson's Relish, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, bay leaves, and vegan stock. Break the tomatoes apart with a spoon, mix well, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook on a low/medium heat for 20 minutes.
• After 20 minutes, stir in the spinach and the chopped coriander stems. It will look like a lot of spinach at first, but it'll soon cook down. Simmer for another few minutes.
• Once the spinach has wilted and the sweet potato cubes are soft, adjust the seasoning then serve with chopped coriander (see notes for more serving suggestions).

Steps:

• In a large pot or dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions, cook until soft and edges browned, about 5 - 6 minutes. Add garlic, cook 1 minute more. Add the chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic & onion powder, cook 1 minute more (or until fragrant).
• Add the beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, sweet potato, green chilies, and vegetable broth, stir until combined. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover slightly askew and cook for 30 - 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Chili is ready when sweet potatoes are tender. Add additional water if chili is too thick for your liking.

SWEET POTATO & BLACK BEAN CHILLI WITH ZESTY QUINOA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Toss the potatoes with half the oil and some seasoning on a baking tray. Bake for 30 mins, tossing halfway through cooking, until tender. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a pan, add the onion and cook for 5 mins until soft, then add the garlic, chilli and coriander stalks. Cook everything for a further 2-3 mins, stirring to prevent the garlic from burning. Sprinkle in the spices, stirring for 1 min more, until aromatic. Stir in the chipotle paste, yeast extract, tomatoes and half a can of water, swirling it around the tin to wash out all the bits of tomato. Simmer the sauce, uncovered, while the sweet potato is cooking, adding a splash more water if it looks too dry.
• Add the sweet potato, black beans and seasoning to the chilli. Bubble for 5 mins, then taste and adjust the seasoning with a squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of sugar if it needs it. Meanwhile, stir the lime zest, a squeeze of lime juice, the coriander leaves and the pumpkin seeds into the quinoa. Toss the avocado in the remaining lime juice as soon as you've cut it - this will prevent it turning brown. To serve, divide the quinoa between plates or bowls, top with the chilli and a pile of avocado.
