  1. Peel and finely chop the onion. Peel and dice the sweet potato, then finely chop the green beans. Heat the oil in a large pan on a medium heat, add the onion, then fry for 5 minutes, or until softened, stirring regularly. Drain and add the kidney beans, along with the sweet potato and tomato purée. Pour in 200ml water, then simmer with the lid on for 15 minutes.
