    Method

    1. Toss the onion with the vinegar in a bowl. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the chilli.
    2. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Fry the chopped peppers for 5 mins, until soft. Add the smoked paprika and ground cumin. Cook for 1 min, then stir in the Tabasco.
    3. Stir in the sweet potato or butternut squash. Add the tomato sauce and stock, then bring to a simmer and cook for 25 mins until the squash is just cooked through. Add a splash of water if your mixture gets too dry.
    4. Stir in the beans, sweetcorn and lime juice and cook for another 5 mins. Top with coriander and the pickled onions and serve with accompaniments: rice and/or tortillas, chopped avocado, soured cream and lime wedges.
    5. This homemade tomato sauce with is a great freezer staple. One batch is enough to make this chilli recipe, plus this chicken arrabbiata pasta and this spicy sausage pizza with hot honey.
