  • Black beans 1 can, drained and rinsed – (240g)
  • Onion 1, chopped – (150g)
  • Bell peppers 2, diced – (300g)
  • Garlic cloves 3, minced
  • Crushed tomatoes 1 can – (400g)
  • Tomato paste 2 tablespoons – (30g)

  • Ground cumin 2 teaspoons
  • Chili powder 1 tablespoon
  • Paprika 1 teaspoon
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil 2 tablespoons – (30ml)

Instructions

  • Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions, diced bell peppers, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and aromatic.
  • Add Quorn Mince: Stir in the Quorn mince and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing it to brown and absorb the flavors.
  • Spice it Up: Add ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the ingredients with the spices.
  • Tomato Richness: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and vegetable broth. Give it a good stir to combine everything.
  • Introduce the Beans: Add the drained and rinsed kidney beans and black beans to the pot. Stir to incorporate them into the mixture.
  • Simmer and Flavor: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the chilli simmer for about 20-25 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the chilli to thicken.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Once the chilli reaches the desired consistency, ladle it into bowls and serve hot.
