Magnesium-rich Black Bean Chilli

Black beans are a great source of Magnesium, a mineral that supports relaxation and healthy sleep, while their fibre and slow-releasing carbohydrates help keep blood sugar levels steady through the night.

Sweet potatoes add a natural sweetness along with Magnesium and Vitamin B6, which contributes to the production of sleep-regulating hormones. Together, they create a comforting, nourishing dish designed to help you unwind and support a restful night’s sleep. And satisfy even the greatest meat lover.

1. Bake sweet potatoes at 175C degrees until slightly firm, but not soft. When cool, peel and dice into 3/4 inch cubes. Set aside.
2. Heat oil in soup pot or Dutch oven. Add garlic and onion and sauté over medium heat until golden brown.
3. Chop chillies and add, along with remaining ingredients, except for coriander, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
4. Add diced sweet potatoes and continue to simmer until vegetables are tender, 10-15 minutes. Add salt to taste. Taste improves if allowed to stand for 1-2 hours before serving.
5. Reheat and serve with chopped coriander for garnish.
