Instructions

Roast the Potato
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C. Chop the sweet potato into small 2cm chunks (no need to peel!). Place on a baking tray, drizzle over a glug of oil and season with salt. Toss together and pop on the top shelf of your oven. Roast until soft and slightly crispy round the edges, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through cooking.

Prep the Veggies
2

Halve, then remove the core from the yellow pepper and chop into 2cm pieces. Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all). Halve the green chilli lengthways, remove the seeds and finely chop. Drain the kidney beans in a colander and rinse under cold water.

Make the Veijoada
3

Heat a splash of oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Add the pepper and cook until softened, 5-6 mins more. Add the chilli (add less chilli if you're not a fan) along with the cumin, smoked paprika and half the coriander. Stir and cook for 1 minute more. Add the chopped tomatoes, kidney beans and water (see ingredients for amount). Stir in the stock pot.

Prep the Extras
4

Lower the heat slightly and simmer until reduced by half and is thick and tomatoey, 15 mins. Chop the vine tomato into 1cm cubes. Remove the root from the baby gem lettuce and thinly slice.

Make the Salad
5

Zest the lime and pop into a mixing bowl, squeeze in the lime juice. Add the olive oil (see ingredients for amount), a pinch of salt and pepper and a pinch of sugar (if you have some). Whisk together with a fork and set aside. Add the tomato and lettuce and toss just before serving.

Grill the Topping
6

Spoon the chilli mixture into an ovenproof dish. Remove the sweet potato from your oven and set the grill to high. Arrange the sweet potato on top of the chilli mixture and sprinkle over the cheese. Pop under your grill until the cheese has melted, 3-5 mins. Share between your plates and serve the salad on the side. Finish with a sprinkling of the remaining coriander. Enjoy!
