Here's another recipe from FMTV.  I have written optional ​next to the zucchini and sweet potato as I omitted these ingredients.
Health Benefits:
Consuming black beans has been shown to improve heart health, protect against cancer, increase fiber intake, improve digestion, boost energy and stabilize blood sugar.  They are also a great plant-based protein.

  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

  • 1 x 14oz (400ml) tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 2 kale leaves, coarsely chopped
  • 1 zucchini , chopped (optional)
  • 1 small sweet potato, chopped (optional)
  •  1 red pepper, diced
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro (coriander) leaves for garnish
  • 1/2 avocado, to serve

  1. ​​In a large saucepan, add the coconut oil and onion and cook on medium heat for 2 minutes or until translucent.
  2. Add the garlic, cumin, cayenne pepper and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the black beans, kidney beans, tomatoes, kale, zucchini, sweet potato and red pepper.
