Black Bean And Sweet Potato Stew (Vegan)

This will easily serve 4-6 people and costs less than $5 to make and has TONS of vitamins!

Ingredients

1 onion (diced)
1-2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 green pepper (diced)
1 medium sweet potato (peeled & diced)
1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes (I use herb)
1 15 oz. can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. coriander
1 Tbsp. Chili Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions

Fry onion, garlic and green pepper with a little bit of oil in a large saucepan for about 3 minutes. Add chopped sweet potato and 1 cup of water & simmer till potatoes are cooked (5-6 minutes). Add the rest of the ingredients, stir and cook on med-low heat for about 15-20 minutes.
If you like it spicy, add some Tabasco sauce. I use a Korean chili sauce or some red pepper flakes. Serve with bread rolls.

(Becky: I disregarded the directions and put all the ingredients in a crock pot on low for about 6 hours, and it turned out great.)
