CARIBBEAN SWEET POTATO & BEAN STEW

Caribbean Sweet Potato & Bean Stew image

I got this recipe from the Easy Home Cooking magazine. I like trying new and different things so I made this. The only thing I did differently when I made it was I added about four chicken tenderloins about 2oz each cut up into chunks. Also, I cooked this in about 1 1/2 hours in a pot rather than in the slow cooker as the redipe requests.

Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 lb)
2 cups frozen cut green beans
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14 ounce) can vegetable broth
1 small onion, sliced
2 teaspoons jamaican jerk spice
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup slivered almonds (best if toasted)
hot pepper sauce (optional)

Steps:

If cooking in the slow cooker- combine all ingredients, except for almonds, in the slow cooker. Cover; cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or high 2-3 hours until vegetables are tender.
Then adjust seasonings and serve with almonds and hot pepper sauce if desired.
To toast almonds spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
To cook on the stove, if you add any meats, cook those first, then add all ingredients to a large pot, bring up to a boil, then reduce heat and cover, simmer for 1-2 hours or until vegetables are tender.
Use same directions for seasonings and hot sauce, but you can also toast your almonds in the microwave for 20-30 seconds in a bowl.
