Yesterday was a 500 day for me, so by the time I had got home I was starving.
Me and my housemate made a quick and simple chilli con carne for tea, it was just what I needed.
I love how many different vegetables you can put into a chilli- you can get so many nutrients from a quick and easy dish.
Instruction:
•Cook in a small amount of coconut oil
•1-2 thinly sliced garlic
•Chopped onion, mushroom, tomato & peppers
•Add portion of quorn mince
•(if using meat- brown the mince before adding veg)
•Add chilli powder, chilli flakes & cumin
•Mix in red kidney beans
•Add tinned toms/chopped toms/passata
•Stir in some spinach for the last 2 mins
•Season with salt and pepper
•Taste- add more spice/cumin if required
For the 'rice':
•Boil quinoa and bulgar wheat
•Add in peas & sweet corn in last 5 minutes
Dinner is served :)
Often when I have more time to make a chilli, I add in stock cubes & more vegetables: Brocolli, Chic Peas, Lentils & every other type of bean (full of beans!)... And I will slow cook it.
Yummy. :)
I hope you enjoy :)

I use pretty much this exact recipe all the time, it's sooo good and really easy! I don't bother using Quorn or mince though, just lots of different beans and quinoa! Even the boyf likes it with no meat! It's also nice with a bit of cinnamon, nutmeg and cayenene pepper. I've never tried adding brocoli, peas or sweetcorn though, will give it go :) x
ReplyDeleteI love it with just beans too! That has to be my favourite type of chilli :) I have tried it with cayenne pepper but never cinnamon and nutmeg- I will give it a go! Thank you :) :)
