Peel the sweet potato and cut into 1-2 cm cubes. Boil in salted water for about 10 minutes until soft, drain, and allow to steam thoroughly. Mash with cream or milk and butter until firm, seasoning with salt and, if desired, nutmeg. Rinse the beans in a sieve and drain well. Dice the tomato. Dice the onion and fry in oil, add the garlic and fry briefly. Stir in the tomato paste and toast, then stir in the beans, vinegar, and tomatoes and simmer until the tomatoes begin to break down. Season with salt and a spice mix, such as Cajun seasoning or pulled pork rub. Turn off the stove and let it rest. Place the pulled pork (leftovers or from the freezer) in a prepared casserole dish and top with a little BBQ sauce or sauce of your choice, if desired. Spread the beans over the meat and press down. Cover with sweet potato mash and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 45 minutes. After 15 minutes, sprinkle with a handful of grated cheese or stir the cheese into the sweet potato mash, if desired.
