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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. Add Quorn Mince: Stir in the Quorn mince and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing it to brown and absorb the flavors.
  3. Spice it Up: Add ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the ingredients with the spices.
  4. Tomato Richness: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and vegetable broth. Give it a good stir to combine everything.
  5. Introduce the Beans: Add the drained and rinsed kidney beans and black beans to the pot. Stir to incorporate them into the mixture.
  6. 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.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once the chilli reaches the desired consistency, ladle it into bowls and serve hot.
