Vegetarian Carne Asada Hash
What do you do when you are stuck in the house waiting for a worker to leave and aren’t able to go pickup dinner? (Usually I would get pizza delivery but I’m trying to turn a new, healthier page :). So, I did what I do best and gathered whatever I had around and created a new one pot meal of course! I always have vegetarian stuff on hand – black beans, sweet potato, carrots… so I thought, why not just throw everything together and see what happens? And ohhhh it turned out soooo gooood! I really wasn’t expecting to do a blog post with this recipe but it just turned out so darn good I couldn’t resist. Day 2 of clean eating success!! This recipe is so healthy and so yummy, it’s almost like a vegetarian chili. This will definitely be one of my new go to weeknight dinners!!! One of the best parts… it only took about 15-20 minutes!
Oh, by the way… I have to show these off… I just got these new pendant lights I am in loveeeee with, they make me so happy when I’m in the kitchen!!
Ingredients
- 2 shallots, minced
- One sweet potato, diced into 1/4 inch cubes
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 small eggplant
- 3 carrots, diced
- 1, 15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup vegetable stock
- 1 1/4 cups tomato sauce
- 3 tsp. carne asada seasoning
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- olive oil
Instructions
- Heat a saute pan (I use my kyocera frying pan) with olive oil and add shallots, garlic, carrots, sweet potato, and eggplant. Season with salt and pepper and saute for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften. Add in 3 tsp. carne asada seasoning, 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce, and garlic powder. Cook for a few minutes until the vegetables soak up the sauce, and then add in black beans.
- Add 1 cup of vegetable stock and the remainder of the tomato sauce and simmer on low for about 7-10 minutes. If you find here the mash is too dry I just add in more stock or tomato sauce.
- This would be great to serve in tortillas!! Enjoy!
Looks like a delicious, healthy, easy to prepare meal…. Can’t wait to try it!!
What a great “throw together” meal that looks like it took a lot of time! Love your new lights too. What fun!
Great meal that you can just throw together! I love those meals that you look in your fridge and figure out how to put them all together to make a great dinner!
This sounds delicious and I really love to put sweet potatoes and black beans together!
and I forgot to say, I LOVE those new lights!
This sounds yummy, I love one pot meals!
Yum! What a delicious meal – and ready so quickly? Love that, pinning!!!
This recipe is AMAZING! So easy to put together, especially for someone like me who is on the go and needs to cook a lot at once. For anyone like me who has a sensitivity to beans, I substituted quinoa and it was delicious! I ate this several days in a row and can’t wait to make it again!! So light and healthy yet filling and tastes so good.
