Ingredients

500g sweet potatoes, cut into medium chunks
Rapeseed oil for frying
Small bunch fresh coriander or parsley (or ½ bunch each), finely chopped
Grated zest 1 lime, juice 2 limes, plus wedges (optional) to serve
1 large red onion, sliced
3 garlic cloves, sliced
1½ tsp sweet smoked paprika
1 tsp ground cumin (optional)
340g tin corned beef, cubed
400g can black beans, drained and rinsed

Method

Heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7. Put the sweet potatoes in a roasting tin, drizzle over 1 tbsp oil, season, then roast for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix the herbs with the lime zest and juice to make the chimichurri salsa. Set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wide frying pan and cook the onion for 6-7 minutes or until golden, then add the garlic, paprika and cumin (if using). Cook, stirring, for 2 more minutes.
Add the corned beef and black beans, stirring gently, and cook until heated through and turning crisp. Stir in the roasted sweet potato, then taste and season. Drizzle with the chimichurri and serve with lime wedges and chillies, if you like.

Try this recipe without the corned beef, adding extra vegetables.
Adding sweet potato and beans stretches one can of corned beef to feed 4 hungry people. The salsa peps up the flavour and adds a vibrant zing.
