The colder months call for warming and easy to make dishes like this black bean chilli recipe. Vegan and gluten-free, this Mexican dish makes a delicious and filling meal for two. I like to serve my chilli with rice, home-made guacamole and some tortilla chips.

Ingredients

Easy Black Bean Chilli (Vegan & GF)

  • 2 tbsp oil (sunflower or coconut)
  • 1/3 cup white onions, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 x 400g cans of black beans, drained
  • 400g can of chopped tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup vegetable stock
  • 2 tsp hot chilli powder
  • 1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cumin

How to make Easy Black Bean Chilli (Vegan & GF)

1. Put the oil in a large saucepan and heat the hob to a very low heat.

2. Sweat the onions for about 8 minutes, you want them to look soft and translucent, and add the garlic and continue to sweat for a few more minutes. Stir the onions quite regularly.

3. Increase to the heat from very low to low heat. Then mix in the black beans, chopped tomatoes, vegetable stock, chili powder, paprika, and cumin. Simmer for about 10 minutes.

4. Serve with any combination of things - tortilla chips, rice, potato/ sweet potato mash or wedges, homemade guacamole, salsa, dairy-free sour cream. Garnish with cilantro if desired.

This recipe is full of goodness

  • High in protein
  • Good source of fibre
  • Packed with vitamins & minerals

With their high protein content, pulses such as black beans, kidney beans, adzuki beans, chickpeas and lentils are a great addition to a meat-free diet, which is why they are a favourite ingredient for many vegetarian and vegan dishes. Packed with fibre, they can also help promote good digestion, and are a good source of vitamins and minerals, such as iron, zinc and magnesium.
