weekly_food_challengeUm. Technically, this counts. It contains sweet potato, though this is by no means the dominant thing in this recipe.
It's my default Big Batch of Stoo recipe, which this week contained sweet potatoes. Info and pics under the cut:
one onion (I used a smallish red onion)
some
Some Meat (I used about 500g turkey, but mince is also often used
Root Vegetables (one large potato, one large sweet potato, two medium turnips, three carrots)
Mushrooms (one box of closed cup mushrooms)
Green Things (today was the remains of some sugar snap peas, and half a pack of green beans)
One bottle of exceedingly cheap red wine (I would love to subscribe to the Floyd school of thought, but reds I'd like to drink make my head unhappy, so I go for this. Also, it's cheaper.)
stock - I make about 0.5l of Marigold Vegetable Bouillon up
Some marmite
about 2/3 of a tube of tomato puree
seasoning. I used quite a lot of paprika, a hint of chilli, some garlic granules, sage, basil, and a fuckton of ground black pepper
You will need one (1) big pot (~3-4 litres) with a lid, and a hob.
Chop your onion, and start it frying in the oil.
Chop your meat if it needs chopping, hurl onto the onion. Try to remember to stir things and/or turn the heat down while you're preparing the root veg.
Chop your root veg. Here is a picture of my chopped sweet potato, to demonstrate it was hiding in dinner, honest:
Put the chopped veg in the pan. Stir.
Chop mushrooms. Ditto.
And the green things. Stir some more. Turn the heat back up.
Pour bottle of red wine over the resultant Heap Of Stuff. Start making your stock (i.e. I put the kettle on)
Squidge in the tomato puree, and about a tablespoon of Marmite. Add your herbs and spices.
Make the stock, pour over the top, stir, bang lid on. Wait for your proto-stoo to start boiling, then turn the heat right down, and ignore it for 90 minutes to 3 hours. Then you can eat it.
Makes enough for 4-6 people, with nourishing broth containing lots of iron, especially if you used beef mince.
Picture just before I bunged the lid on:
