Just so you know. This is the BEST stew you will ever eat! So very very good. Kimberly and I have added it to the "to be revisited frequently" list of foods, along with Pad Thai and brownies ;) Seriously, give it a try. You will be super surprised.

Ingredients
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1/4 pound chorizo sausage chopped
• 1/3 pound cooked ham chopped
• 1 medium onion chopped
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 2 (1 pound) sweet potatoes peeled and diced
• 1 large red bell pepper diced
• 2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice
• 1 small hot green chile pepper diced
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2 (16 ounce) cans black beans rinsed and drained
• 1 mango - peeled seeded and diced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat, and cook the chorizo and ham 2 to 3 minutes. Place the onion in the pot, and cook until tender. Stir in garlic, and cook until tender, then mix in the sweet potatoes, bell pepper, tomatoes with juice, chile pepper, and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 15 minutes, until sweet potatoes are tender.
• Stir the beans into the pot, and cook uncovered until heated through. Mix in the mango and cilantro, and season with salt.
I made this last night and it really is delicious. The slight sweetness from the sweet potatoes and mango give it an interesting twist. Though the ingredient list is long, it yields a nutritional banquet. I'm so glad I doubled the recipe!
