Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili

Serves 6-8

Preparation Time
20 mins

Cooking time
35 mins

1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 medium red onion, chopped
1 anaheim pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 sweet potatoes (1 1/2 lbs), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 28-can whole plum tomatoes
1 cup water or vegetable stock
2 15-ounce cans black beans, drained
1 dried chipotle pepper (smoked jalepeno), seeded and chopped (easiest to do with scissors)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Warm the oil in a large pan over medium heat and add the onion, pepper, garlic, and sweet potato chunks. Saute, stirring often, until onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, breaking them up with the back of a wooden spoon.  Add water or stock, beans, chipotle, cumin, and chili powder, bring to boil, reduce heat to simmer, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender.  Stir in cilantro and serve.
