MEXICAN BLACK BEAN CORN SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot, sauté the onion, celery, carrots and garlic in 1 cup of vegetable broth over medium heat for 6-7 minutes. Add chipotle chili powder, roasted cumin, and black pepper and cook for another minute or two. Stir in the remaining vegetable broth, 4 cups (or 2.5 cans) of beans, and sweet corn. Turn to high heat and bring to a boil.
• Add remaining 3 cups (or 1.5 cans) of beans and crushed tomatoes to a Vitamix or blender and process until smooth. Stir into soup when boiling, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 15 minutes until beans and vegetables are done to your desired tenderness.
• Taste test. Add Herbamare or salt to taste and lime juice.
• Serve in bowls and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.

• Uncover, add the corn and beans. Thin with more water if needed. Cook uncovered for 5 more minutes. Add the cilantro, lime zest, and lime juice. Let sit for at least 10 minutes. Serve.

BLACK BEAN, CORN AND PUMPKIN STEW

Steps:

• Heat olive oil until hot. Add red pepper and saute for 5 minutes or until somewhat tender. Add the cumin seeds and saute a few seconds until you get a whiff of their aroma. Add garlic, oregano, cinnamon, cloves and paprika and saute for a few seconds or until aromatic. Add corn, winter squash, tomatoes with their juices, the broth and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until squash is almost tender. Add beans, cover and simmer another 5 to 10 minutes or until squash is completely tender. (If liquid seems to be evaporating too much, add more water.) Season to taste with salt and pepper and spoon over noodles. Garnish with jalapeno pepper and toasted sunflower seeds.

CHIPOTLE SWEET POTATO & BLACK BEAN STEW WITH CHEDDAR DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Heat a glug of vegetable oil in a large flameproof casserole over a medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook for 7 mins until softened. Tip in the squash and sweet potato and fry for a few minutes before adding the tomatoes, beans and 250ml water. Stir through the chipotle paste and season to taste. Pop a lid on the dish and gently simmer over a low to medium heat for 25 mins or until reduced and the sweet potato is soft.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Mix the flour with ½ tsp salt. Add the butter and rub together with your fingers until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the grated cheddar then quickly mix in 4 tbsp cold water. Roll the mixture into eight balls. Put the dumplings on top of the stew and place, uncovered, in the oven for 15-20 mins, or until puffed up and light golden brown. Serve the stew with the sliced jalapeño scattered on top, if you like.

SLOW COOKER SPICY BLACK BEAN AND SWEET POTATO CHILI

Steps:

• In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the sweet potatoes, black beans, tomatoes, orange juice, oil, chipotles and adobo sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, garlic cloves, and dried spices. Stir in 2 teaspoons salt, a generous amount of pepper and 1 cup water. Cook on low until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 8 hours. The chili holds well on the warm setting.
• Just before serving, stir in the corn and let it warm through, about 5 minutes. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Top with avocado and red onion.
