½ tsp ground coriander (cilantro)

½ tsp ground ginger

Slice the onions very thinly, chop the garlic and deseed and chop the peppers and scotch bonnet.

Cook:

Bake sweet potato in the oven for up to 30 mins till done. Make sure to stir the cubes at least once during baking so that they cook evenly on all sides

Heat the remaining oil in a non stick pan and add in the onions, garlic, peppers, scotch bonnet chilli, bay leaves and stir fry for a minute until fragrant.

Then add in the water, cover and simmer for about 40 mins till onions are soft stirring occasionally.

Keep an eye on the water level and if it get gets too dry you might need to add in a few tbsp of water at a time.

Then add in beans and sweet potato and simmer for another 10 mins so the flavours blend together.

Adjust seasoning and serve.

Notes

You can substitute the scotch bonnet with chillies of your choice. Jumbo cubes (and maggi cubes) are stock cube used to flavour food in West Africa. You can normally find them in shops selling ethnic food. You can substitute with other stock cubes or replace the water with stock of your choice

Just want to be back there, still can’t believe I’m not. Last night only served to remind me again that there is nothing for me to do in Bournemouth. I’m glad for what I do have here, but I need to move on. Fingers and toes crossed that 2013 will be the year.

Happy new year everyone! I’m going to go for a walk along the beach and then spend the day reading and eating. Love weeks off work.

I had the worst new year in history in this fucking city last night. Change is not always good x

I’ve raised nearly £500 over this last month for an international charity that is pioneering in its work for causes across the world.

I ran 5km with about 2000 Santas and my mother (dressed as Santa)! Here are some sweaty pics of the finish! :)

If you are feeling kindly, I’m still fundraising and would appreciate even the tiniest of donations.

Merry Christmas everyone! xx

Christmas Time Is Here

We’re about halfway through December, a time when many city streets start looking like they’re culled straight from a fairyland. Above, a smattering of sparkly, glistening, holiday decorations from around the world.
