Method
Finely chop your onion and bell pepper and mince your garlic.
Heat some oil in a heavy-bottomed pan and add your onion, sauteing for 5 minutes on a low heat until the onion has softened.
1 large white onion
Add your pepper and garlic and saute for another 5 - 8 minutes. The onion should be soft, translucent and fragrant - don't let it burn. Add your mince and cook for another 5 minutes. Season to taste.
1 red bell pepper, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 250 g vegan mince
Add your spices, tomato puree, and chipotle paste. Cook for another 1 minute.
1 tablespoon tomato puree, 1 teaspoon chipotle paste, 1.5 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1.5 teaspoon cumin, 1.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, salt and pepper to taste
Stir in your chopped tomatoes and beans, bring to a boil, then simmer on a low heat for around 10 minutes, slowing adding your stock as the mixture thickens.
400 g tinned chopped tomatoes, 400 g tinned kidney beans, 400 g tinned black beans, 100 ml vegetable stock
Serve with chopped coriander, vegan sour cream, and brown rice, tortilla chips, or pitta bread pockets.
I serve my chilli sin carne with either pitta bread pockets, or (as pictured) guacamole, homemade pico de gallo, and tortilla chips.This recipe should make about 4 portions, but it totally depends on how much you eat as a family - without any sides, it might be 2 large portions, but with guac, rice etc, it should be enough for 4.
