ROASTED SWEET POTATO, BLACK BEAN, AND CHORIZO BREAKFAST BOWLS



Roasted Sweet Potato, Black Bean, and Chorizo Breakfast Bowls image

These breakfast bowls are a change from the usual and are loaded with a variety of flavors and textures. Home- or store-made chorizo is best, but feel free to use your favorite brand. You may also combine the sweet potatoes, black beans, chorizo and avocados all together before topping with the egg. I like to top mine with cotija cheese, cilantro, and chipotle hot sauce.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, undrained
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound fresh Mexican chorizo sausage, casing removed
1 tablespoon butter, or as needed
4 eggs
2 avocados - peeled, pitted, and sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine sweet potatoes, olive oil, cumin, and salt in a medium bowl. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast in the preheated oven, stirring after 10 minutes, until browned and cooked, 18 to 20 minutes total.
  • Meanwhile, combine black beans, cumin, salt, and garlic powder in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Heat until warmed through, 8 to 10 minutes. Keep warm.
  • Brown chorizo in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up any large clumps, for 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer chorizo to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Reserve about 1 tablespoon grease in the skillet, adding butter as needed to make up the difference.
  • Crack eggs into the skillet and cook until whites are set and yolks reach the desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Divide sweet potatoes, drained black beans, chorizo, and avocados between 4 bowls. Top each bowl with an egg.

Full of flavour and nutritionally-balanced, this hearty chilli will keep both vegans and meat-eaters happy

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Main course

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tbsp rapeseed oil
2 sweet potatoes , peeled and cut into 1 in cubes
1 onion , chopped
2 fat garlic cloves crushed
1 red chilli , seeds removed if you don't like it too hot, and finely chopped
small bunch coriander , stalks finely chopped, leaves roughly chopped (keep them separate)
2 tsp ground coriander
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp chipotle paste (ensure you use a gluten-free variety)
1 heaped tsp vegan-friendly yeast extract
2 x 400g cans chopped tomato
400g can black bean
140g quinoa , cooked according to pack instructions, or 250g pack ready-cooked quinoa (we used Merchant Gourmet red and white quinoa)
zest and juice 1 lime
1 tbsp pumpkin seed
1 ripe avocado , peeled and cubed

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.

SPICY BLACK BEAN AND SWEET POTATO CHILI



Spicy Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chili image

This thick, smoky vegan chili comes together in just under an hour, and most of that time is hands-off simmering. You can use any kind of sweet potato here - keep in mind that the orange or garnet "yam" you see at the grocery store is actually a sweet potato - but you could also switch it up and use any peeled sweet winter squash, like butternut or kabocha. The recipe calls for either coconut oil or vegetable oil. If you'd like a mild coconut flavor, which plays well with the orange juice, choose unrefined or virgin coconut oil; for a neutral flavor, choose refined coconut oil or any vegetable oil. Use one chipotle chile for a very mild chili, and four if you like yours very spicy. (Get the slow-cooker version of this recipe here.)

Categories     dinner, weekday, soups and stews, main course

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup coconut oil or vegetable oil
1 large yellow or red onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt and black pepper
6 garlic cloves, smashed and roughly chopped
2 packed tablespoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
3/4 cup orange juice
1 to 4 chipotles from a can of chipotles in adobo, finely chopped, plus 3 tablespoons adobo sauce
1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (4 to 5 small-medium or about 2 large), scrubbed and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, drained
1 (28-ounce) can crushed or diced tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted
Juice of 1 lime (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
1 (10-ounce) bag frozen corn
Sliced avocado and red onion, for topping

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven, warm the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring and adjusting the heat as needed to avoid burning, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the brown sugar, cumin, garlic and onion powders, and stir to combine. Add the orange juice and let it come to a simmer. Add the chipotles and adobo sauce, sweet potatoes, beans, tomatoes and lime juice. Season generously with black pepper and 2 teaspoons salt. Stir in 1 1/4 cups water and bring to a boil.
  • Once the chili comes to a boil, decrease the heat to low to maintain a simmer. Cover the pot and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Just before serving, stir in the corn and let it warm through. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Top with avocado and red onion.

SWEET POTATO AND BLACK BEAN CHILI

The extra step of roasting the sweet potatoes really concentrates the sweet, earthy flavors and gives the starchy chunks a marvelously meaty texture.

Time 8h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (4 to 5 small-medium or about 2 large), scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, drained
1 (28-ounce) can crushed or diced tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted
3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup coconut oil or vegetable oil
1 to 4 chipotles from a can of chipotles in adobo, finely chopped, plus 3 tablespoons adobo sauce
2 packed tablespoons light brown sugar
Juice of 1 lime (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
6 garlic cloves, smashed and roughly chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 (10-ounce) bag frozen corn
Sliced avocado and red onion, for topping

Steps:

  • In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the sweet potatoes, black beans, tomatoes, orange juice, oil, chipotles and adobo sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, garlic cloves, and dried spices. Stir in 2 teaspoons salt, a generous amount of pepper and 1 cup water. Cook on low until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 8 hours. The chili holds well on the warm setting.
  • Just before serving, stir in the corn and let it warm through, about 5 minutes. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Top with avocado and red onion.

Tips:

  • For a smokier flavor, use a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce in place of the diced green chiles.
  • If you like your chili spicy, add an extra diced jalapeno pepper or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • To make vegetarian chili, omit the chorizo and add an extra can of black beans or sweet potatoes.
  • For a thicker chili, mash some of the sweet potatoes before adding them to the pot.
  • Serve chili with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, diced avocado, or tortilla chips.
  • Enjoy chili as a soup or use it as a topping for baked potatoes, nachos, or tacos.
