Sweet Potato and Black Bean Hash

Sweet Potato and Black Bean Hash

Serves 4

30 minutes or fewer

Canned black beans and frozen corn kernels are the shortcut ingredients in this nicely spiced entrée with a South American accent. Serve with chopped fresh cilantro and lime wedges (to squeeze over the top) if desired.
  • 2 tsp. vegetable oil
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into ¾-inch dice
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeño chile, seeded and minced
  • 4 tsp. ground cumin
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¾ cup frozen corn
  • 15-oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed

1. In large heavy skillet, preferably cast-iron, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes.

2. Add sweet potato, and cook, stirring often, until beginning to brown in spots, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic, jalapeno, cumin, and salt and cook, stirring often, 30 seconds. Add ¾ cup water and cook, stirring to scrape any browned bits from bottom of pan, until potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in corn and beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Season with freshly ground pepper to taste, and serve hot.

I made something like this last night, just improvising after having yummy vegan hash at local restuarant. I decided to go for Caribbean flavor, used allspice, cayenne pepper, diced red pepper (sauteed), a little ginger, diced mushroom, and of course diced onion & sweet potato. I plan to experiment with root vegetable hashes often from now on, very filling / satisfying and can be adapted different ways.

very yummy especially when you bake the sweet potatoes before!

I love this recipe, but with some modifications. Because I really like to taste the sweetness of the sweet potatoes, I baked them beforehand. This makes the hash a bit mushier, but it adds tremendously. I also liked mine with a bit more salt, but my husband preferred it as it. I think it's a great recipe.

I absolutely love most recipes on this site, but found this one to be lacking in flavor. I would not suggest this one to anyone.
