Ingredients:
2 cloves garlic – minced
1 small onion - diced
2 medium sweet potatoes - peeled and chopped into smallish pieces (cooks quicker)
2 medium carrots - sliced
1 red bell pepper - chopped
2 Tbsp olive or coconut oil
2 - 15 ounce cans black beans (1 can if you prefer fewer beans)
1 - 15 ounce can diced organic tomatoes or fresh chopped (I use medium/hot salsa)
1/2 cup vegetable or chicken broth
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne (optional or to taste)
1/2 tsp Himalayan salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Preparation:
- Sautee onions and garlic in olive or coconut oil for a few minutes, then add sweet potatoes and carrots until onions are soft.
- Reduce heat to medium low, and add remaining ingredients, stirring to combine well.
- Simmer, partially covered and stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes, until flavors have mingled and vegetables are cooked.
