Spicy Sweet Potato Chili with Pineapple
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato peeled and cubed
- 1/4 large pineapple cubed
- 2 cans red beans
- 1 small canned corn
- 2 red bell pepper
- 1 parsnip
- 2 onions
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp oil any flavourless oil
- salt
- black pepper
- chili powder
- 1 1/5 cup rice
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, and sauté for 1 minute until softened. Add the sweet potato and the diced parsnip, and give everything a good mix.
- Add enough water to cover the ingredients and cook for about 7 minutes until the sweet potato is half cooked.
- Add one tablespoon of smoked paprika, the diced tomatoes, stir and cover for about 5 minutes so that the tomatoes can lose some of their juice and the water evaporates.
- Add the remaining ingredients: pineapple chunks, chopped bell peppers, red beans, corn, salt, pepper and chili powder. Cover and allow to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, or until the potato has softened.
- Serve in bowls with rice or naan, and sprinkle a little fresh coriander or pickled jalapenos on top, if you wish!
