BLACK-BEAN AND SWEET-POTATO STEW
This satisfying vegetarian stew is ready in about an hour-and more than half that time is hands-off. Opting for canned beans instead of dried put this recipe on the fast-track, and velvety, earthy sweet potatoes, nutty quinoa, and smoky chipotle peppers provided complexity and depth without the need for an all-day simmer.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan heat olive oil. Add the onion, green pepper and garlic. Cook over medium heat until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Stir in the chili powder and cook 1 minute. Add 1 cup water and sweet potato. Cover and cook until potatoes can be pierced with a sharp knife, about 10 minutes.
- Add the stewed tomatoes and beans, breaking the tomatoes up into smaller chunks with the side of the spoon. Simmer the stew uncovered over medium-low heat until the potato is very tender, about 8 minutes. To thicken the sauce slightly, mash about a quarter of the beans against the side of the pan.
- Stir in cilantro and season with Tabasco and salt and pepper (if desired).
Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, wash and chop your vegetables, and measure out your spices and seasonings. This will help you save time and ensure that your stew cooks evenly.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add or substitute any vegetables that you have on hand, such as carrots, celery, bell peppers, or zucchini.
- Don't be afraid to add spices: This stew is packed with flavor thanks to the addition of cumin, chili powder, and paprika. If you like your stew spicy, you can add more chili powder or cayenne pepper. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, earthy flavor.
- Simmer until the vegetables are tender: The key to a good stew is to let it simmer until the vegetables are tender. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour if you have time.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: This stew is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, avocado, or cilantro. You can also serve it over rice or quinoa.
Conclusion:
This black bean and sweet potato stew is a hearty, flavorful, and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual weekend lunch. The best part is that it's also very versatile. You can easily adapt it to your own taste by adding or substituting different vegetables, spices, or toppings. So get creative and enjoy!
