INGREDIENTS
(Serves 4)
4 medium (about 520g) sweet potatoes
1 tbsp (11g) olive oil
2 small (about 140g) onions
2-3 cloves garlic
1 medium (about 160g) bell pepper
1 can (240g net) black/kidney beans
1 can (400g) chopped tomatoes
2 tbsp (16g) hot chilli powder
1 tsp ( 3g) paprika
1 tsp (3g) ground cumin
1/2 vegetable stock cube, 500ml stock
80g frozen sweet corn (or canned)
3/4 cup (110g) quinoa, any colour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 medium avocado
125ml low fat greek plant yoghurt / regular yoghurt
80g reduced fat cheddar cheese / vegan cheese
1 lemon, squeezed
1 medium sprig fresh coriander/parsley
PREPARATION
Wash & dry sweet potatoes then pierce a few holes on each potato. Bake for 40-50 minutes at 220°C, until they are tender.
Heat oil and sauté onion until soft. Add peppers and garlic, cook for 5 minutes.
Add spices: hot chilli powder (reduce by 1/2 tbsp if you can't take spice), cumin, paprika (smoked paprika works too), salt and pepper and stir.
Add beans, chopped tomatoes, 500ml of stock and quinoa. Bring to the boil and simmer for 25 - 30 minutes until the sauce has reduced down but still wet, it should not be completely dry.
Add sweet corn and heat through, about 5 minutes.
Cut open each potato and create a pocket, top with chilli and serve with avocado, cheese, yoghurt (add lemon juice for a more 'sour cream' flavour) and chopped fresh herbs.
Keep the chilli refrigerated for up to five days or put in a sealed container and freeze for up to one month.
