This quick and easy vegan stew combines sweet potatoes with a tangy nutty sauce, and it can be made easily using mostly store cupboard ingredients. If you don’t have a scotch bonnet any fresh or dried chilli will do, and you can leave out the coriander if you need to – it will still taste delicious!

Introduction
I hadn’t had a groundnut stew before trying the one in Ruby Tandoh’s Flavour , and found the combination of peanut, tomato and chilli in a sauce addictive – it’s my most requested dinner at home. This vegan version, with chunky sweet potato and onions, is a good alternative – serve with a bowl of freshly cooked white rice.

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/ gas 6.
Mix the sweet potatoes, onion, ginger, garlic and Scotch bonnet with the oil and salt in a roasting tin, then transfer to the oven and cook for 45 minutes, until the sweet potato is just soft when prodded with a fork.
