- Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Add the ground cumin, chili powder, and cinnamon to the pot. Stir well to combine and cook for another minute.
- Add the sweet potatoes, black beans, vegetable broth, and tomato paste to the pot. Stir to mix thoroughly.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the mixture has thickened slightly.
- Season with a dash of salt to taste.
- Fill a large saucepan with water, add 2 tablespoons of vinegar, and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Crack an egg into a small bowl or cup.
- Stir the simmering water gently to create a whirlpool effect, then carefully slide the egg into the center.
- Let the egg cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
- Evenly divide the black bean and sweet potato mixture among four bowls.
- Top each bowl with two poached eggs.
- Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the eggs and beans.
- Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve the black bean bowls warm and enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure that the beans are cooked until tender for the best texture and flavor.
- When making the poached eggs, use fresh eggs for better results, and add a small splash of vinegar to the boiling water to help the eggs hold their shape.
- Feel free to adjust the spices according to your taste preference. If you like it spicier, add a bit more chili powder or even a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- To make the poaching process easier, you can crack each egg into a small bowl before sliding it gently into the simmering water.
- Garnish the dish with fresh coriander leaves for an added burst of color and flavor.
