Course Lunch/Dinners
Servings 1 person

Ingredients
  

  • 2 small sweet potatoes
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika, plus extra to serve
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • splash of Worcestershire sauce (Lancashire sauce is a veggie option)
  • 1 x 400g cans pinto beans in water, drained
  • 400g can of chopped tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp of cottage cheese or 30g grated vegan cheese to serve

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Pierce the sweet potatoes a few times with a fork, then cook them in the microwave on High for 8 mins or until soft. Rub with 1 tsp of the paprika, 1 tsp of the oil and some seasoning. Transfer to a baking tray, put in the oven and cook for 10-15 mins until crispy.
  • Meanwhile, make the beans. Cook the onion in the remaining oil until soft. Add the garlic, sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire/Lancashire sauce and the remaining paprika, and cook for a further 1-2 mins until sticky. Tip in the beans, tomatoes and a splash of water, and simmer until the sweet potatoes are ready and the excess liquid has simmered away.
  • Serve the sweet potatoes with the beans on top, a dollop of cottage cheese and a pinch of paprika, if you like.
