SWEET POTATO & KALE CHILLI
I’m in the process of re-visiting some old recipes and giving them a re-vamp with some new photos and video instructions so you might see some familiar recipes resurfacing every now and then!
This recipe I first posted three years ago and is still one of my staple favourites. It’s just SO easy to make and packs in so much flavour and nutrition.
The heat in this vegetarian chilli really hits the spot. Just looking at it makes me feel better with all those warm, bright colours and inviting textures.
It’s frugal, super-nutritious and even meat-lovers will enjoy this as the sweet potato is so flavourful, filling and satisfying that they won’t miss the meat.
This dish is:
Vegan + dairy-free
Gluten-free + grain-free
Nut-free
Soy-free
Frugal
Easy to make + freezes well

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and add the sweet potatoes, onion and garlic. Cook on a medium heat for 5 minutes until the veg has softened slightly.
Stir in the chili, cayenne pepper, cinnamon and cumin and cook for a futher couple of minutes.
Add the kidney beans and chopped tomatoes, stir to coat the vegetables thoroughly then simmer gently for 30-35 minutes. Add a little water if it becomes too thick.
