Ingredients (serves 4):

For the chilli:

1 large sweet potato

2 onions

2 carrots

1 pepper

2 sticks celery

2 garlic cloves

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp hot chilli powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 x 400g tins red kidney beans in chilli sauce

1 x 500g carton passata

3 tbsp Dr Will’s Tomato Ketchup/BBQ Sauce

Handful fresh coriander leaves

For the guacamole:

2 avocados

Salt

1 tbsp lemon/lime juice

Tortilla chips

Soured Cream

Method:

Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick pan. Peel the sweet potato then dice into bite-sized chunk and, once it’s hot, add to the pan.

Peel and finely chop the onions, carrots and garlic. Trim the celery and de-seed the pepper (we went green as we feel the poor thing always gets left out) and, likewise, chop finely. Alternatively, roughly chop all the veg and garlic and whizz in a food processor until finely chopped – it doesn’t matter if there are bigger chunks left.

Add all the vegetables to the pan and cook, stirring frequently for 10 minutes, or until they start to soften. By this point the larger sweet potato chunks should have got a nice head-start in terms in cooking through.

Stir in the spices and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Then add the kidney beans, passata and Dr Will’s (both the Tomato Ketchup and BBQ Sauce would work well here – we went for the former). Half fill one of the tins with water, give it a swirl then pour into the second tin and the carton of passata, and tip into the pan.

Stir well and bring to the boil. Once bubbling partially cover the pan and simmer, stirring occasionally, for around 30 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Cut the avocados in half and remove the seed from each. Scoop out the flesh into a small bowl and mash roughly using a fork. (Don’t overdo it – the avo should be a little chunky). Sprinkle with salt and lime or lemon juice.

Serve in deep bowls, topped with a spoonful of your chunky guacamole, soured cream and a helping of tortilla chips. Finish with a sprinkling of coriander. ¡Provecho!* 

*In Mexico, it's customary to say ‘provecho’ (proh-veh-cho) before starting a meal. It comes from the word ‘aprovechar’ which means ‘to make the most of it’ – the equivalent to the English ‘enjoy your meal’!
