Quick & Delicious Vegetarian Chili Recipe
Want to cook a spicy family favourite for Friday night but not sure where to get started? Check out our recipe for a delicious vegetarian / vegan chili which is quick and easy to prepare!
Ingredients
- 🧅 1 brown onion
- 🫑 1 bell pepper
- 🍳 cooking oil (we use rapeseed)
- 🧄 3 cloves garlic
- 🍅 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
- 🫘 1 tin of cooked kidney beans or black beans
- 🥘 1 vegetable stock cube
- 🌶️ A sprinkle of ground chili pepper or hot cayenne pepper (to personal taste)
- 🌿 A sprinkle of oregano
- 🫙 A sprinkle of cumin
- 🍚 Rice
- 🫔 Vegetarian or vegan mince substitute (e.g. Quorn) – optional
Method
- Chop the onion & the pepper into small pieces.
- Heat a splash of oil in a saucepan and fry the onion & pepper until soft.
- Crush the garlic and throw it into the pan for a couple of minutes.
- Throw in the tin of chopped tomatoes & the tin of beans, stir and bring to the boil.
- Crumble in the stock cube and add the spices (pepper, oregano and cumin).
- Lower the heat, put a lid on the pan and leave to simmer. Stir occasionally so it doesn’t stick to the bottom.
- Bring some water to the boil and cook your rice according to the instructions on the packaging.
- Throw the vegetarian or vegan mince substitute into your sauce according the the instructions (with Quorn, that’ll be 12 minutes before the rice is finished cooking).
- Serve up the rice roughly half and half with the chili sauce.
Extra Tips
- You can cook your sauce for just as long as the rice (12-20 minutes) and it will still taste nice, but if you start cooking it a bit earlier and give it 30-40 minutes in the pan it will have a richer flavour.
- As shown in the picture accompanying the article, why not try this dish with nachos? Delicious!
