Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup quinoa, dry
- 14oz can black beans, strained and rinsed
- 28oz can diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon tamari
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- In a large pot on medium heat, warm the olive oil, add onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender.
- Add garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes being careful not to burn it.
- Add a pinch of salt, cocoa, cumin, chili, coriander and cinnamon and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add in diced sweet potatoes and quinoa, stirring to ensure it is well coated with the onion mixture.
- Pour in broth, scrapping up any bits that have stuck to the bottom, add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste and tamari, and give it a good stir.
- Add black beans, give it another stir to ensure everything is well combined. Cover with a lid, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 35 minutes.
- Once cooked, if you find it a little liquidy, simply simmer it for another 5 minutes to allow it to reduce a little. (This may occur depending on your brand of canned tomatoes.)
- Season with extra salt and pepper to taste, and serve with a big bunch of fresh coriander.
