Ingredients

  • 1 large or 2 small yellow onions, peeled and chopped
  • 1 small sweet potato, peeled and diced into small pieces Or diced squash or carrots
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) ground cumin
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) chili powder
  • Salt, pepper and Tabasco-style hot sauce, to taste
  • 1 can (796 ml) crushed tomatoes
  • 250 ml (1 cup) water
  • 12 frozen spinach nuggets (about 500 ml/2 cups)
  • 1 can (540 ml) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 hamburger buns

 

Preparation

  1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sweet potatoes and cook for about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, hot sauce, crushed tomatoes, water and frozen spinach. Mix.
  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover, leaving a small space for steam to escape. Simmer for about 1 hour or until the sweet potatoes are soft. Tip: Use the cooking time to prepare your side dishes.
  4. Add the black beans, stir and cook for 5 minutes.
  5. Spoon the black bean mixture over one half of each hamburger bun and cover with the other half before serving.

 

Tip:

  • Serve on toasted buns for a change of texture.
  • It’s best to eat Sloppy Joes with a fork because the filling tends to spill.
