Curried Black Bean and Sweet Potato Skillet

Here are things that I love:

1) dishes that can be made in one pan

2) dishes that you can change up by adding different foods (like carrots, zucchini, try anything you like!)

3) Quinoa.

4) Sweet Potatos

I found this recipe last year. I love dietitians that have food blogs. they usually make great recipes. I changed this one a bit (ie - swiss chard scares me. and we all know that i don't like new things or changes.)

Curried Black Bean and Sweet Potato Skillet

Ingredients

2 sweet potates, chopped into small cubes.
1 red onion, diced
½ a jalapeno, diced (so they say...)
3 cloves of garlic, chopped up
2 bell peppers (any color will do)
1-15 oz. can of black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup uncooked quinoa (cooked to directions - red or white will do. will be about 2 cups cooked)
½ cup low sodium veggie broth (or you can make your own!)
2 tsp of olive oil
1 tbsp of curry powder and/or garam masala.

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick sauté pan. Stir in your onions and jalapeños and allow to cook for about five minutes. Stir in the sweet potatoes, curry powder, a pinch of salt and half of the veggie broth. Once everything is well combined, pop a lid on and cook for about six to eight minutes or until your sweet potatoes are just about fork tender.

Add the bean, quinoa, Swiss chard, and peppers and season with salt and pepper. Pour the remaining broth in to the pan before popping the lid on and allowing to cook for another five minutes or so or until the beans are heated through.
