Innocent, the people who make those lovely smoothies have branched out into veg pots. My favourite one is the Mexican Sweet Potato Chilli which is very very nice, so nice in fact that I decided to make it myself!

Here’s the recipe I used exactly although the addition of a small potato might help thicken up the sauce.

What you need:
(Makes enough for 4 (large) servings)

• 1 Sweet Potato
• 4 medium Carrots
• 1 small Onion
• 1 Cob of Sweetcorn (frozen will do)
• 1 tin of Beans in Chilli
• 1 tinned Tomatoes
• 1/4 jar of Jalepenos

Serve with:

• Brown Rice

Instructions:

1. Fry the diced onion in a large saucepan (that has a lid)
2. Dice the Sweet Potato and Carrots
3. Once the onions have softened add the sweet potato and carrots
4. Fry for 5 minutes then just cover with water, bring to a boil and then turn down to simmer for 15 minutes (now is a good time to put on the brown rice)
5. Add the Tinned Tomatoes and Beans in Chilli and cover the saucepan, simmer for 15 more minutes
6. If the sweetcorn is on the cob then remove with a knife
7. If uncooked then add to the pot for the last 5 minutes
8. Chop the Jalepenos
9. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the Jalepenos (and sweetcorn if cooked)

Enjoy with the Brown Rice!
