Cooking Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- Cut the sweet potatoes into 2cm cubes (peel optional). Heat a large saucepan with 2 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the sweet potatoes and cook for 5 mins, until golden.
- Meanwhile, quarter the mushrooms. Roughly dice the onions. Add them to the pan along with the garlic paste and cook for another 5-8 mins. Drain and rinse the beans.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, beans, sun-dried tomato paste, vinegar and 250ml hot water to the pan. Bring to a boil then simmer for 20-25 mins, until the sauce thickens and the sweet potatoes are soft. Add a splash of water if it gets too thick. Add the cavolo nero in the final 5 mins of cooking. Season to taste with sea salt.
- Make the pesto; roughly chop the almonds, sunflower seeds and dill. Zest half the lemon, then cut in half. In a small bowl, mix together the almonds, zest, dill (to taste), sunflower seeds, 1 tbsp olive oil, juice from the lemon (to taste) and a good pinch of sea salt.
- Drizzle the pesto over the stew before serving.
