Ingredients
– 1 ½ pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ¾ inch cubes
– 1 large or 2 small onions, chopped
– 1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
– 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
– 2 tablespoons olive oil or preferred cooking oil
– 2 teaspoons paprika (smoked paprika for more smoky flavor)
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt or to taste
– 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, undrained
– 1 can (14.5 ounces) fire roasted tomatoes, undrained (can substitute regular diced tomatoes)
– 2 to 3 cups stock or broth of any type (vegetable broth for vegan)
– ½ to 1 lime
Instructions
1-First, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they soften, which takes about 5 minutes, creating a flavorful base.
2-Next, stir in the ginger, garlic, paprika, cumin, and salt, letting the spices bloom for a minute or two to release their aroma.
3-Once that’s done, add the sweet potato cubes, undrained black beans, undrained fire roasted tomatoes, and your chosen broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20-30 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender.
4-Finally, squeeze in the juice from half a lime to brighten the flavors, and serve it up hot.
