Chipotle Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chilli with Coriander Yoghurt

by Cherrypick

What we love about this recipe is how forgiving it is. Swap, add, omit - it still works. And those layers of smoky, sweet, tangy, and creamy flavours? They just dance on your plate. Best part: it feels like something special, but it’s totally weeknight-friendly.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the garlic for 30 seconds until lightly golden. Stir in the tomato puree, paprika, cumin and chipotle paste with a splash of water and stir to create a paste. Cook off for 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 2

Add in the diced sweet potato and coat well. Pour in the chopped tomatoes and stock. Cover with a lid and simmer 22-25 minutes over a low-medium heat to allow the sweet potato to soften enough so that a knife can pierce through. Check half way through as you may need to add more water or stock.

Step 3

Meanwhile, make the herby yoghurt cream. Add the vegan yoghurt, avocado and coriander (stalks and all) into a food processor and blend to a smooth cream. Add a generous squeeze of lime juice and season to taste.

Step 4

Once the potatoes have softened, pour in the black beans with their bean stock. Stir to combine then simmer for a further 4-5 minutes. If using canned beans, you’ll need add more salt at this point. Bubble away until the chilli has thickened and is a rich, glossy consistency.

Step 5

Spoon into bowls, drizzle over the green yoghurt and scatter over a few pickled onions. Serve with the tortilla chips or cooked rice, if you like.
