Vegan Chilli

A quintessential dinner-table staple, chilli con carne is a fiery and filling dish. But as its name suggests, chilli con carne isn't a friend of the vegetarian or vegan! Until now, that is! Serve this dish with rice, or bake it on top of tortilla chips with some cheese/vegan cheese!

Time: ~30 minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp olive/vegetable oil
• 1 onion
• 3 cloves of garlic
• 1 red pepper
• 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
• 1 tbsp tomato puree
• 1 tin of green lentils
• 1 tin of red kidney beans
• 1 tsp of paprika
• ½ tsp of cumin
• 1 tsp of chilli powder

Recipe:

1. Chop the onion, garlic and red pepper
2. Heat some oil in a pan and fry the onion, garlic and red pepper until the onion is soft, but not too brown
3. Add the tinned tomatoes, tomato puree, lentils and kidney beans
4. Stir in the spices and allow the mixture to simmer for around 20 minutes
5. Serve with rice, baked on nachos or however you'd like. But always with guacamole!
