Ingredients
- 1 onion, half diced, half roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil
- 20g stem ginger (pieces)
- 2 coriander leaves
- 11⁄4 tbsp jerk seasoning
- 1 thyme sprig
- 160g chopped tomatoes (tinned)
- 13⁄4 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 11⁄4 tbsp demerara sugar
- 1⁄2kg sweet potato, peeled and cut into chunks
- 320g black beans, rinsed and drained
- 180g roasted red pepper(s), cut into thick slices
Directions
1
Gently soften the diced onion in the sunflower oil in a big pan or casserole.

Meanwhile, whizz together the roughly chopped onion, ginger, coriander stalks and jerk seasoning with a hand-held blender. Add to the softened onion and fry until fragrant. Stir in the thyme, chopped tomatoes, vinegar, sugar and stock cubes with 240ml water and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 mins, then drop in the sweet potatoes and simmer for 10 mins more. Stir in the beans, peppers and some seasoning, and simmer for another 5 mins until the potatoes are almost tender. Cool and chill for up to 2 days.

To serve, gently heat through on the hob. Roughly chop most of the coriander leaves and stir in, then serve scattered with the remaining leaves.
