  4. In the meantime, drain the cans of black beans into a colander and rinse under water, and cut the potatoes (peeled) into small bite-sized cubes

  5. After simmering the grated tomatoes for about 5 minutes and they've slightly thickened, add in the chopped potatoes, drained black beans, vegetable broth, and bay leaf, give it a gentle mix, once it comes to a boil, place a lid on the stock pot and lower to a low-medium heat

  6. After 15 to 20 minutes and the potatoes are just cooked through, remove the lid, you can always pierce the potatoes to ensure they are done, using a potato masher, mash down on the stew for a few seconds, this is to help thicken the stew, then remove from the heat
