By way of introduction
Brand new addition to the family of recipes, a stunning debut if I may say so myself, born out of a chance encounter between discounted fake mince and promotional sweet potatoes, a love story for the times ;)
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes
- 400g fake mince (in the UK I can recommend meatless farm, top notch; or you can go for actual mince but don't be surprised if you get Chili Con Carne)
- 2 onions
- 3 - 4 bell peppers (green ideally, but any will do)
- 2 cans / 400g tinned beans (red, but again, any will do)
- 2 cans / 800g approx chopped tomatoes
- 2 tea spoons cinnamon (yes, I know, weird - trust me)
- 2 tea spoons ground cumin
- 1 tea spoon smoked paprika (or more if you want to go redneck BBQ)
- 1 - 2 cloves garlic
- 2 - 4 chili peppers
- some heavy dollops Worcestershire sauce
- bunch fresh coriander to serve
- salt
- pepper
- olive oil
- water if gets too dry in cooking
What to do
Very little philosophy to it ;) although feel free to pepper in some sage. (this is just a pun or a Play on Words, as cpt. Carrot would explain it, no actual sage or Sage is required)
- Chop onion, fry in olive oil till translucent (at the bottom of a fairly big pot),
- Add all the seasoning
- And chopped sweet potatoes, saute with the onion for a few minutes (3-4?) (also, mind there's enough oil, the whole thing is fairly big so you can be generous at this stage)
- Add mince and saute for a few minutes (3-4? or if actual meat, till browns a bit)
- And then just dump in the rest of ingredients and bring to a bubbling boil
- Lower the heat and cook for some 20 mins or until sweet potato is soft / cooked (mind, with actual meat you better make it closer to 40 minutes!)
