How to make cheap vegan chilli sin carne

First prepare your vegetables and chop the onion and garlic and add to a large pan over medium heat with a dash of oil until softened and fragrant (isn’t this the best smell?)

Now you can chop a red pepper, and finely chop a red chilli. These can then be added into the pan along with the softened onio and garlic. 

Fry the cinnamon, cumin, paprika and chilli for a 5 minutes until the aroma of the spices fills the room. A top tip is to add a splash of water if it is needed and you find the spices are sticking. This creates a paste to help the spices cook. 

While your spices are frying, drain and rinse the beans. This is a key step to avoid bloating! Always rinse your beans thoroughly. 

Then pour in your chopped tomatoes and stir everything through to mix tgoether. Fill one of the tins up half way with water and add to the pan for extra liquiud (I always do this when adding liquid to save on extra dishes and washing up!)

Finally season the chilli with salt and pepper, stir and simmer for 30-40 minutes until reduced.  You could cook for even longer if you like in a slow cooker to really deepen the flavours. 

While the chilli cooks, prepare and put your rice on top cook, chop your coriander and slice the avocado. 

Serve the chilli with the rice, coriander, avocado, a squeeze of lime and some nutritional yeast or vegan cheese.

Then adjust the spices according to your preference, adding more chilli for an extra kick.

Tastes even better the next day, so double up and make extra cheap vegan chilli sin carne for your weekly meal prep!
