Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Pull out a large frying pan, a medium saucepan, a measuring jug, a peeler & a sieve

Get started

  • Peel and dice the sweet potato into 1cm chunks
  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sweet potato and cook for 4-5 mins, until softened and golden. Season with salt and pepper

Simmer simmer

  • Add the West African spice blend and ginger & garlic paste to the pan. Cook for another 1 min, then stir in the coconut milk, stock powder, peanut butter and 250ml water (125ml for 1 person)
  • Bring to the boil, stir to combine, then lower the heat and simmer for 22-25 mins, until the sweet potato is soft. Add a splash of water if it gets too dry

Finish the prep & boil the quinoa

  • Meanwhile, trim the broccoli and cut into thirds. Deseed and thinly slice the chilli. Roughly chop the coriander and peanuts. Quarter the lime
  • Bring the medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the quinoa and boil for 13-14 mins, until cooked
  • In the final 3-4 mins of the quinoa cooking, add the broccoli to the saucepan, then drain together

Last bits

  • Once cooked, remove the curry from the heat and stir in half the coriander with a squeeze of lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper

Plate up

  • Share the sweet potato curry between bowls, with the broccoli and quinoa alongside
  • Garnish with the peanuts, chilli (for those who'd like the heat), remaining coriander and remaining lime wedges
