Pinto & Sweet Potato Side DishIngredients (use vegan versions): 1 cup pinto beans
1 large sweet potato
spring onions
red pepper
garlic
salt
olive oil
1 can diced tomatoes
cayenne pepper
Directions:Put about 2 tablespoons olive oil in a pan. Heat.
Halve sweet potato, slice, and add to pan.
Add chopped spring onions.
After five minutes add 1/4 cup water.
Let simmer until sweet potatoes are tender.
Add pinto beans. (I use dried beans so I soften them beforehand-- canned beans would work well too)
Add the chopped red pepper.
Then garlic, olive oil and cayenne pepper to taste.
Finally add the can of tomato.
Let simmer for 5 minutes and serve.
(Adding collards or Kale is also tasty! Just make sure they are chopped fine enough that they don't overpower!)
Serves: 3-4
Preparation time: 30 minutes
