For the American’s out there looking for ideas of what to do with the Thanksgiving leftovers 🇺🇸 I made this thanksgiving inspired hotpot using black eyed peas and sweet potato.

A hotpot is a great way to use up leftovers from a big holiday meal. You could even add some shredded turkey to this too.

Black eyed peas and Sweet potato hotpot Recipe

👉3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
👉2 onions, roughly chopped
👉400g leeks, roughly chopped
👉400g oyster mushrooms, roughly chopped
👉Pumpkin spice mix - ground cinnamon, nutmeg, clove (equal amounts)
👉1 Vegetable stock cube, crumbled
👉400g black eyed peas (cooked) (or 2 cans drained and rinsed)
👉3 tbsp soy sauce
👉1 tbsp corn flour
👉300mls hot water
👉1 large sweet potato, cut into 3mm thick rounds

1. Preheat the oven to 200C
2. Sauté the onion, leek and mushrooms for 10 minutes in olive oil, salt and pepper on low heat in a large oven proof casserole dish
3. Add the spice mix, soy sauce, beans, veg stock cube and water plus the corn flour
4. Stir and bring to a simmer
5. Layer the sweet potato on top, drizzle with olive oil and salt well
6. Bake for 30 minutes until the sweet potato is cooked and browned on top, and the mixture is bubbling away underneath

Warming foods? This is a tricky one because people

Warming foods? This is a tricky one because people experience the sensation of ‘cold’ for a number of different reasons. The obvious change in weather, a lack of acclimatisation to the temperature, conditions like raynauds and hypothyroidism as well as insufficient energy intake (as 50% of our calories are directed to maintaining core temperature).

Within the Ayurvedic system of medicine there are “Warming foods” such as:
👉nutmeg
👉cardamom
👉clove
👉cinnamon
👉cumin etc
(i.e a Garam Masala, which means warming spices)

Others include:
👉Green tea
👉Curcumin

Now, there isn’t much science on the warming effect (or thermogenic effect) of these spices however some of those spices have been suggested to improve blood flow for which there is some evidence of effect. In particular nutmeg and raw cocao (if you can call that a spice?!) and turmeric.

Nitrate rich foods also fall into this category including greens like kale, cabbage, berries and beetroot.

Remember, it’s your overall diet quality that has the potential to improve cardiovascular health not just a few ingredients.

Other tips for improved blood flow include:
👉Hydration
👉Breathwork (see my pod with thebreathguy Richie Bostock)
👉Regular exercise (star jumps every 2 hours or regular walks to get your blood pumping 1212). This is a photo of Gethin taking my advice and doing his exercises to warm himself up 🤣

A great recipe to try is a Mole inspired dish (recipe in the last video and on my previous post), give it a try and comment below with your favourite winter warming dishes!

It might not look like the most attractive meal but trust me this dark chocolate fuelled “Mole” (a Mexican inspired dish pronounced ‘mole-eh’) packed with greens, sweet potato and winter warming spices is going to get you through the cold weather snap 🥶

I’ll be chatting about circulation on BBC morning live tomorrow and about what evidence there is behind warming spices like nutmeg, clove and cinnamon 🤷🏽‍♂️

For now.. save this recipe to make this week 😉

Ingredients:

3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 red onion, finely diced
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
200g leeks, chopped
2 tsp cumin seeds
1 small dried ancho chilli or 2 tsp dried chilli flakes
1 bay leaf
1 tsp cinnamon
200g sweet potato, 3cm cubed
Splash of water
300g pinto beans, cooked
400g passata
2-3 tbsp cacao powder or 50g 80%+ chocolate, shaved
50g kale greens finely chopped
50g red cabbage finely chopped

Heat the olive oil in a pan on medium heat, add the onions, garlic and leeks and sauté for 4-5 mins. Season well

Add the cumin seeds, cinnamon, bay leaf, chilli and cook for a minute before adding the potato

cook for 2 minutes, to soften, then add a splash of water and the chocolate

Tip in the passata and the beans, stir again, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are soft

Stir in the greens and cabbage to let them lightly cook for the final minute

Serve piping hot !
