A warming plant-based chilli
Ingredients
- an Onion Diced
- a few Celery Sticks Diced
- a Sweet Pepper Diced
- 3 Sweet Potatoes Diced
- 2 Garlic Cloves Crushed
- a tsp Ground Cinnamon
- a tsp Mild Chilli Powder
- a tsp Paprika
- a tsp Ground Cumin
- a cup Soy Mince I use the Clear Spring organic one
- a tin Kidney Beans drained
- a jar Tomato Passata (400g) I always use a tomato pasta sauce for added flavour
Instructions
- Sauté your onion, pepper, celery, sweet potato and garlic with some olive oil over a medium heat.
- You want the sweet potatoes to soften, this should take around 10-12 minutes - faster if you cover with a lid. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking/burning.
- Add in your spices and stir for a minute, or two.
- Add in your kidney beans and mince and stir for a further few minutes before adding your tomato sauce and simmering for around 10 more minutes over a medium/low heat. Season to taste.
Notes
*With heavily tomato-based dishes I will often add a tbsp of honey, or plant-based alternative, to add a sweetness.
