black bean & sweet potato hash

here's another one of graham's recent favs!  and i must say...i could eat a serving of this as well.  just might bring some into work with me for a snack!

black bean & sweet potato hash

1 large onion

3 teaspoons dried tyhyme leaves

3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil

1 sweet red pepper (optional)

4 cups peeled, cubed sweet potatoes (1/2" cubes)

2 15-oz cans black beans, drained and rinsed

pepper to taste

in large skillet, saute onion and thyme in oil until onion is tender, about 5 mins.  add red pepper and sweet potatoes; saute until potatoes begin to soften, about 8 mins.  stir in black beans and cook until potatoes are tender, about 5 mins.  season to taste with pepper.  

makes a GREAT finger food meal packed with protein and iron!
