Ingredients

Directions

  1. Step 1

    In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Cook onion, garlic and celery for 3 minutes to soften. Stir in sweet potatoes, thyme and pepper to coat well.

    Add broth and bay leaves and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender but firm.

  3. Step 3

    Uncover and stir in kidney beans and spinach and cook for 5 minutes to heat through. Remove bay leaves before serving.

Tips

  • Change up the beans in this stew and try other favourites, like black beans, red kidney or mixed beans.
