This is a wonderful rich chilli – very easy to make and great with tortilla chips, rice and a guacamole. I usually make enough for the next day. Love the heat from the chillies and the sauce is to die for. Let’s go chilli up . . .
INGREDIENTS
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 red chillies, finely chopped
2 cups pre-cooked red kidney beans
1 onion, very finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 Tbsp tomato puree
3 cups passata tomatoes
1 red bell pepper, chopped (as you wish)
2-3 cups vegan mince/crumble (e.g. Gardien) of your choice
2 heaped tsp paprika (nice to try 1 tsp smoked paprika)
¼ cup water
salt to taste
METHOD
- Saute your onion, then add your spices, garlic and chillies, and continue to saute for a couple of minutes.
- Then spoon in your tomato puree.
- Now add your mince and passata, and simmer for half an hour. Then add the remaining ingredients, and allow to simmer for a further couple of minutes.
- Serve on top of rice or however you wish.

What is vegan mince?
Hi Debi. Vegan mince is known as ‘crumble’ in the US a meat crumble that non vegans use for burgers, bolognese etc. So a vegan version would be a vegan crumble. I believe there are several brands sold in the frozen section of many supermarkets. Hope you make and enjoy this !

This is one hearty and lovely Vegan chili and would be perfect for those cold winter months! This could also be served with croissants or garlic toast. 🙂
Hi Michael, garlic toast sounds nice, I must agree ! 🙂
