Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium eggs
  • 300 g cottage cheese
  • 1 ripe avocado sliced
  • 2 tbsp pickled red onions in sweet vinegar drained
  • For the sweet potatoes: 400g sweet potato diced into 2cm cubes
  • 1 tsp each ground cumin & smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp chilli flakes, dried oregano, cinnamon & garlic granules
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • juice of ½ a lime
  • For the black beans: 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ small onion finely diced
  • 1 garlic clove crushed
  • pinch of dried oregano & ground cumin
  • 1 x 380g carton black beans
  • 1 tsp runny honey
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C, fan 200°C, gas 7. Line a baking tray. Add all the sweet potato ingredients to a large bowl with a pinch of salt and stir to combine. Spread out the potato on the baking tray and roast for 20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until tender and caramelised on the edges.
  2. Meanwhile, start on the beans. Heat the oil in a large pan. Cook the onion with a pinch of salt until softened. Add the garlic, oregano and cumin and cook for a further minute. Add the beans with their liquid. Add 75ml of water to the empty carton and pour into the pan. Stir well, bring to the boil then turn the heat to low and simmer for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the liquid has reduced and the mixture has thickened, remove from the heat and stir in the honey and vinegar. Season to taste.
  3. While everything else cooks, bring a small pan of water to the boil, lower in the eggs and cook for 7minutes. Immediately drain and run under a cold tap for 1 minute, then keep in a bowl of cold water until ready to eat.
  4. To serve, spoon the cottage cheese into serving bowls. Top with the sweet potato, black beans and avocado. Peel the eggs, halve them and add to the bowls with the pickled red onions and a sprinkle of black pepper.
