Left Overs Challenge - Baked Beans

So it's time for another left overs challenge.  This time we are trying to make a second dish from left overs from the Clean Eating Baked Beans recipe.  We are going to turn the left overs into a herby bean stew with creamy corriander sweet potato mash.

So the left over ingredients we have are:

• Clean eating baked beans
• Sweet potatoes 

And what we are going to add is:

• Garlic (1-2 clovers for the mash and 1-2 cloves for the beans)
• Dried herbs
• Spinach
• Fresh corriander
• Some left over broccoli and cherry tomatoes I had in the fridge but you could use most vegetables.

Method:

First of all I made the sweet potato mash.  I used the technique that Deliciously Ella uses in her rejuvenating bowl recipe.  So follow the link and follow her recipe for the sweet potato part.  

To steam my sweet potatoes I used one of these fold-able metal steamers.  They cost about £5, they are super cheap and work a treat (try eBay or Amazon).  You just pop it in the pan with about an inch or so of water underneath, pop in the sweet potato and pop the lid in.

While your sweet potato is steaming, put some spinach in a dry hot pan and stir until the spinach wilts down.  Add to this your left over clean eating baked beans, crushed garlic, seasoning and a generous amount of dried herbs.  Stir though.  Chop your vegetables into bite size chunks and mixed this through the beans.  Cook until the vegetables are cooked through.

Once you have followed the Deliciously Ella sweet potato recipe, I just stir through some chopped corriander.  Now you are ready to serve!
