Instructions

Prep


Cook

  1. Heat 60 ml of water in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped red onion, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 7 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in the chopped garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add a little more water if needed to prevent sticking.
  4. Add the diced sweet potatoes, red pepper, jalapeño (if using) and vegetable stock (or water).
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer for about 25 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender but still hold their shape.

Tip: Check the sweet potatoes at the 20-minute mark — you want them tender but not mushy.

  1. Stir in the black beans, diced tomatoes (with their juice) and the miso mixture. Simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes until everything is heated through.
  2. Add the diced mango and cook for 1 more minute.

Serve

  1. Remove from the heat, stir in the fresh coriander and serve hot.
