One Pot Chipotle Bean and Potato Stew

This stew uses chipotle chillies to add smokiness, but they aren't necessary if you don't have any to hand. You can substitute for liquid smoke or extra smoked paprika. Make sure you cook the potatoes in the stock before you add the passata, as the acidity of the tomato sauce means the potatoes will take much longer to cook once it is added to the dish. We ate this dish by itself but if you wanted more carb you could serve with crusty bread.

Sweet Potato Peanut Stew

This warm and comforting stew is perfect for dark, cold autumn evenings. Adding peanut (or any other nut) butter to stew really enriches it and gives it a lovely thick consistency. You can vary the vegetables according to what you prefer or what's in season and you can eat this as it is or serve with bread if you like.
