This receipe sounds great. Reminds me of Black Bean and Pumpkin Chili recipe. By the way never, never, throw away those Holloween Pumpkins. They loaded with great vitiams, and make great soups, chili's, veggie dishes, etc. similar to nutrients that are in the orange sweet potatoes. Thanks for the recipe. I’m a black bean foodi.

I went back to it a few times and reread the post; it sounded better each time, so finally I made it. It was as pretty to look at as it was delicious. I added hot peppers to the black beans, also contributing to the "pretty" factor. Thanks for the delicious recipe; your blog is a treasure. Kim I love this recipe, Jenn, and your philosophy as well.

I know what you mean about the fall mindset...I'm in south GA, so very much like your neck of the woods, we are usually in a perpetual state of summer, temperature wise, but yet there is still that need to change seasons and shift gears a bit, isn't there? Thanks for sharing this recipe...I love sweet potatoes! :-) Oh, this sounds so good!

Yes, I think you should ponder it. It was a great excersise for me. There are a lot of foodies out there and it is so fascinating to me to find out where they got their inspiration and it was time for me to start thinking about mine! Hi Cara! That sounds like a lovely combination for a burrito! Hi Katie! Wow, they are expensive in France? Amazing! Here they are so cheap it is silly! Let me know if you come up with any interesting combinations with that certain "je ne se quoi"! Hi Amanda! Thank you! Yes, this is real comfort food for me! Wow Arfi! That is such a great bit of story-teling there! I have got to get to Indonesia one of these days - especially for the markets! They sound FANTASTIC! Hi Deb! Yes, please try it and let me know what you come up with! Sweet potatoes are so versatile and wonderful! Their splendor should not be ignored! Hey Valli! Thanks! So what is lumberjack hash? Sounds hearty! Now you have me thinking....sweet potato pancakes sound like a wonderful idea! Probably very good with that Harissa I just made....Thanks Valli! Hi Cynthia!

Growing up my mom always seemed to make only enough for the 6 of us. We did have leftover potatoes and veggies at times. When I make potatoes even now I always make way too much intentionally so that I can have potato patties or potato pancakes, or, if they are not mashed Lumberjack Hash. Another triumph Jenn!!!

Sweet potatoes are so often ignored, except around the holidays. But they are so packed with great vitamins, etc. that I have been trying to use them in more dishes. The addition of black beans is such a great idea. I certainly will give this one a go! Cheers! Jenn, looks nice, but sounds even better.

Even in my home-country, Indonesia, they are often cooked with vegetables or tempeh (Indonesian fermented soya cakes). My Mum used to cook it with tofu and also with fish. In Sumatra, where she lives, the city is divided by a long river. Many poor people live on the side of the river and they are the people who usually catch fish. We often buy fresh fish which are sold in the traditional supermarket, still swimming in the gigantic drums. You can just point your fingers, then they'll net them for you. They also can gut it for you with extra price, I suppose. These river fish are excellent cooked with black beans, chillies, shallots, garlic, ginger, galangal root, bay leaf, salt, and a little bit of sugar. Oh, now I am the one who's missing home hehehe...
