Left Over Challenge - Beans

The Left Over Challenge will be a regular feature where by I need to make a new meal out of left overs of a previously blogged recipe.  Where possible I will try to only add ingredients that I already had in my cupboards.  So here goes..... the first challenge

In this post I will show you the meal I made from the left overs of the Stuffed Bean Pepper Pot recipe.

So left over I had:

• Bean mixture
• Sweet potatoes
• Spinach

The ingredients I used from my cupboards:

• Jalapenos
• Chilli poweder
• Chilli seeds
• Lemon juice
• Paprika
• Mushrooms

And here is how I did it:

• Cut the sweet potato into wedges.
• Put in a sandwich bag / freezer bag along with mushrooms, paprika, salt and pepper.
• Add a good glug of olive oil and hold the top of the bag tightly shut while you give the bag a good massage meaning all the oil and spicing coats the contents evenly.
• Put on a baking tray and add to a hot oven (220c) for around 20-30 minutes, turning once half way through.

• Add the left over beans to a pan.  Add the jalapenos, chilli powder, chilli seeds (as much or as little as you want) and a generous couple of handfuls of spinach.
• Heat through, stirring to ensure no sticking.
• Remember to taste to check your spicing and seasoning, adjust to suit your taste.
• Cook until heated through and the spinach has wilted.
• Add the lemon juice and stir through before serving.

Challenge one......... DONE.
