Cooking Instructions
- Boil a kettle. Dice the sweet potato into 1cm cubes (peel optional). Heat a large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium heat. Add the sweet potato and cook for 4-5 mins, until golden.
- Meanwhile, finely dice the onion. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook for 3-4 mins, until softened. Add the paprika and cumin and cook for 1 min.
- Drain and rinse the beans and sweetcorn. Add both to the pan along with the passata, half the chipotle and 350ml boiling water (175ml for 1 person). Simmer for 15-20 mins, until the sweet potato is soft. Add a splash of water, if necessary.
- Roughly chop the coriander. Add the spinach and half the coriander and cook for 1-2 mins, until wilted. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Serve in bowls and garnish with the yoghurt, nutritional yeast and the remaining coriander.
