2. Cooking Directions
- Prick sweet potatoes with a fork in several places. Microwave on High until tender all the way to the center, 12 to 15 minutes. (Alternatively, place in a baking dish and bake at 425 degrees F until tender all the way to the center, about 1 hour.)
- Meanwhile, in a medium microwaveable bowl, combine beans, tomatoes, oil, cumin, coriander and salt; microwave on High until just heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. (Alternatively, heat in a small saucepan over medium heat.)
- When just cool enough to handle, slash each sweet potato lengthwise, press open to make a well in the center and spoon the bean mixture into the well. Top each with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Yield: 4 servings
3. Still Hungry?
For a satisfying last-minute supper, it's hard to beat a sweet potato zapped in the microwave. The fragrant filling of beans and tomatoes adds protein. Be sure to eat the skin, which is full of fiber, as well.

Surprise!
acantwell84 - April 25, 2008 10:45:24 AM PSTwhat a delicious side! i didn't expect it to be so good, and was leery about trying it. since only making dinner for two last night, i cooked one large sweet potato in the microwave (MANY fork pricks, not deep, was quick to do, did not compromise the cohesiveness of the potato at all), 8oz can black beans, 1 sm/med tomato, and 1/3 the spice as directed. extra sour cream. could have done without the cilantro, but i'm not a fan (husband is though and thoroughly enjoyed it). the contrasting flavours were surprisingly complementing....i may make them again tonight!
i suggest serving simply with sauteed, pan fried, or grilled chicken. a light, buttery entree makes it an enjoyable meal that's not overwhelming.Was this review helpful to you? Yes - No Report Abuse
