2017 will be here in another day and we need some beans esp black eyed, sweet potato and spices! to bring it in. This sweet potato hash is super easy and comes together really quickly.

Sweet potatoes are cooked with onion and garlic in a skillet, then simply spiced with harissa and smoked paprika, tossed with greens and cooked black eyed peas. Pretty, hearty and wonderful. Serve the hash as a side or over toast topped with sriracha or avocado, fill up tacos, or make a buddha bowl with cooked grains like turmeric lemon rice and a dressing or lemon juice. So many ways to eat this amazing stir fry. Use other cooked beans or lentils and other spice blends like cajun or garam masala for variation.

For all the black eyed pea prosperity and happiness, make this Deep Dish Lasagna Pizza with Black eyed Peas and Greens, Some Black Eyed Pea and Lentil soup, a grain-free Black eyed Pea and Potato Masala Pie stuffed with broccoli and cauliflower, or a hearty black eyed pea and Pumpkin Chard Chili.

Be safe and happy this New Years eve!

Ingredients 
 

  • 1 tsp oil

  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp harissa spice blend , or 2 to 3 tsp paste

  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • ground cumin, black pepper, or more harissa spice blend for garnish
  • cilantro/scallions and lemon juice for garnish

Instructions 

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, Add onion and garlic and a pinch of salt and cook until translucent. 5 to 6 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • Add sweet potato, bell pepper, 1/4 tsp salt, thyme, harissa and toss well to coat. Cover and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Add a splash of water (2 to 3 tbsp) and mix. Cover and cook for 8 to 10 minutes undisturbed. Stir and check if the sweet potatoes are done. Cover and cook for 2 minutes or so longer if not done.
  • Add the black eyed peas and greens and mix well. Increase heat to medium high and cook for 2 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and heat. Add a tsp of olive oil or vegan butter, cumin, black pepper or more harissa spice blend, a dash of lemon and mix well.
  • Take off heat. Garnish with cilantro and serve as is or with garlic bread or over toasted bread or tortillas. Or make a bowl with cooked grains, lettuce/greens and a dressing.

Notes

* If using collard greens or other longer cooking greens, add collards at step 4, mix and cook until wilted, then fold in black eyed peas and continue.
For variation: Use other cooked beans, lentils or chickpeas.

    I love this recipe and have made it many times. Sometimes I use black beans if I’m out of black-eyed peas. I have a question for you regarding the amount of protein. If the nutrition information you show for one serving, for approximately how much? Thank you ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. Vegan Richa Support says:

      Serving size mentioned above the recipe. The whole recipe amount is divided by the serving size and nutrition is for that.

    Just had this for breakfast. So delicious! I was out of thyme so I used Italian seasoning, but definitely use thyme when you make it. It was still yummy though. This brings beans on toast to a whole other level!

    1. Vegan Richa Support says:

      So glad you liked it!

    Love this recipe and have made it several times. Wanted to tell you, and for anyone else interested, that I often use Swiss chard for the “greens” portion, plus I chop up a few of the Swiss chard stems (so delicious and colourful) and add these along with the green pepper.
    I also like to add chopped-up Swiss chard stems to a mix of sautรฉed potatoes and onions with a bit of the leaves tossed in. Makes for a great throw-together dish.
    Take care and thanks again for so many great recipes ๐Ÿ™‚

    I love this combination of flavors! I made it according to the recipe. I was hesitant about the amount of harissa spice at first but I ended up using the entire amount after tasting it at the end. Next time I’ll try it with collards as suggested but this is definitely a go to. Great for meal prep, I served it over rice. I’m actually thinking about making this for back to back weeks since it was so good!

    1. Vegan Richa Support says:

      Yay!!

    A delicious, quick and easy meal. Made enough for 2 meals. Served once in a wrap and next meal with rice and salad

    I just had this for breakfast, so yummy! This is the 2nd time I’ve made it and both times the sweet potato cubes got too soft, so I think next time I’m going to cook them separately in the air fryer. All that aside, this is one of the best recipes I’ve gotten from this site. I thank you and my tummy thanks you!

  7. Grace says:

    My daughter has A LOT of allergies. This is perfect for her besides the chili spice in the harissa spice blend. Do you think it would still taste good without that ingredient?

    1. Richa says:

      yes, use other blends that dont have chili.
