Covid Sweet Potato, Bean & Spinach Hash with Eggs of course!

This recipe should work for 4-5 people. If you want to feed more folks, add another sweet potato or really any root veggie you have in your fridge. I used sweet potatoes, b/c let’s be honest, they were in the store.  I wouldn’t increase the beans unless you were going to serve over 6 people.

As for why would I share this simple recipe: we've been eating too much meat in our house. I cook meat only three times at most a week, but it seems in this brave new covid world I have returned to tried and true comfort food like pot roast. I'm trying to get out of that rut and prove to my growing boys that actually there are many ways to get protein-- like eggs and beans! 


Ingredients

• Can of beans (whatever you like, whatever is in your pantry. I love little pink peas or black eyed peas personally)
  
• Two sweet potatoes
  
• One onion
  
• However many eggs you want
  
• Bag of greens (can also be frozen). I used a big bag of chopped up fresh Spinach b/c that was all they had in the store
  
• Scallions, but not necessary
  
• Spice (whatever you have, we’ll talk)
  

Preparation

1. Chop up the sweet potatoes in bite sized pieces (do not peel-- those peels are good for you!) and the onion two. Toss sweet potatoes and onions in oil and place on cookie sheet. Alternatively, grease the pan and spray veggies with cooking spray. Do whatever you have, whatever you like. Roast for 30 mins? At 375. I don’t know how long. Just check them with a knife to see if soft. 
   
2. Mix beans and greens in a bowl (if using frozen greens, thaw in the microwave). The end goal is to have the greens wilted, not necc cooked.  Season beans and greens with salt and pepper. Also try thyme and smoke paprika. Or how about marsala. Whatever you want. Pepper and Salt might be your style. I like things pretty spicy so I used lots of smoked paprika b/c that is what I had. 
   
3. While waiting for the sweet potatoes, slice those scallions so you can sprinkle them on top of the dish.
   
4. Toss hot potatoes and onions in spiced  bean and greens bowl to wilt the greens. Serve up in however many bowls of people you are feeding. 
   
5. Fry those eggs however you like them. We like super runny yokes in our house. Place fried eggs on top of hash and sprinkle with scallions.
