Ingredients
- Sweet Potato: 4 small sweet potatoes
- Paprika: 1 tbsp smoked paprika, plus extra to serve
- Olive Oil: 1 tbsp olive oil
- Onion: 1 large onion, chopped
- Garlic Clove: 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- Brown Sugar: 1 tbsp brown sugar
- Red Wine Vinegar: 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- Worcestershire Sauce: splash of Worcestershire sauce (Lancashire sauce is a veggie option)
- Bean: 2 x 400g cans mixed beans in water, drained
- Tomato: 400g chopped tomatoes
- Soured Cream: 4 tbsp light soured cream, to serve
Directions
- 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 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.
- Serve the sweet potatoes with the beans on top, a dollop of soured cream and a pinch of paprika, if you like.
