1 2/3 cup red kidney beans (drained weight), drained and washed
x1 14 oz can tinned tomatoes
1 cup button mushrooms

1 tablespoon maple syrup

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 390 degrees F.
Boil the peeled sweet potatoes until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain and leave to one side.
Fry the onions, garlic and a pinch of salt, in a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat for 5 minutes, until the onion softens. Add the paprika and slices of spring onion, sauté for 2-3 minutes, ensuring they are coated in the paprika, before adding the mushrooms and mixing again.
Add both of the beans, coating them in the paprika, and sauté for a further 5 minutes. Then add the tinned tomatoes, maple syrup, lime juice, pepper and coriander, mixing everything through.
Mash the sweet potatoes with the almond milk and a pinch of salt.
Spoon the bean mix at the bottom of a baking dish and top with the sweet potato mash.
Place in the oven to bake until it starts to crisp on the top, about 20-25 minutes.
