Instructions
a) Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
b) Chop the sweet potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel)
c) Put the sweet potato chunks onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
d) When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 18-20 mins. Turn halfway through.
a) Meanwhile, halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion.
b) Heat a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (if you have any) in a medium saucepan on medium heat.
c) Once hot, add the onion, season with salt and pepper and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden and softened, 8-10 mins.
d) Add the sugar (see pantry for amount) and cook until caramelised, 1-2 mins more.
a) Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

b) Stir through the passata, creme fraiche, veg stock paste, butter beans, sweetcorn and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount).
c) Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer the sauce until thickened slightly, 5-6 mins.
a) Bake the garlic ciabatta on the top shelf of your oven until golden, 4-5 mins.
b) Meanwhile, stir the roasted sweet potato and honey into the stew. TIP: If your honey has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.
