Red kidney bean & sweet potato stew with yogurt & hot mint oil


The yogurt in this vegetarian stew is a perfect, cooling contrast, and the hot mint oil – a very Persian addition we call nana daagh – finishes the dish incredibly well. You can serve this with rice or bread, and leftovers make an excellent brunch dish with poached eggs.
