Dice the sweet potato into 1cm cubes (peel optional). Heat a large saucepan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the sweet potato and a good pinch of sea salt. Cook for 4-5 mins, until golden. Meanwhile, finely dice the onion.
Add the onion to the pan and cook for 3 mins. Drain and rinse the beans. Halve the tomatoes. Add the paprika, cook for 30 seconds, then add the passata, tomatoes, ketchup, beans and 200ml hot water (100ml for 1 person). Simmer for 10-15 mins, until the sweet potato is soft and the sauce thickens. Add a splash of water if it gets too thick.
Zest and quarter the lime. Roughly chop the pistachios. Trim the green beans, and place them in a large saucepan covered with salted hot water. Boil for 2-3 mins, until cooked. Drain, then return to the pan and mix with the pistachios, zest, juice from 2 lime wedges, 2 tsp olive oil, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Roughly chop the dill. In a small bowl, mix the yoghurt, pestorissa, half the dill, a squeeze of lime juice and a good pinch of sea salt.
Season the beans with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Serve in bowls and top with the green beans and yoghurt. Sprinkle over the remaining dill.
