Chilli Sin Carne

Gluten free, vegan chilli sin carne. Vegetable chilli. Rich, spicy vegetable chilli. Served with gluten free, vegan tortilla. Steaming and ready to eat.

Great to Take to a Pot Luck

Gluten free, vegan Chilli Sin Carne can be as ‘hot’ as you dare. When I was at university we were regularly served ‘Vegetable Con Carne’ which was vegetarian – there was a misunderstanding of the Spanish language there – but we knew what it meant. It wasn’t a great meal but one of the more edible ones in our halls of residence.

This recipe is quick to prepare and is a great supper dish. It has deep and rich earthy flavours. This recipe makes a very large pot. It tastes even better the next day or can be frozen. Serve with a crisp green salad, Guacamole – Onion Free, Garlic Free, Tomato Freeand Perfect Plain Rice, cornbread or tortilla chips. It is also good in burritos.

3. Add the oil to the pan and add the asafoetida, courgette, aubergine and celery. Stir well and cook on a low heat for three to five minutes
4. Finely chop the chilli and add to the pan along with the chilli flakes, cumin seeds, cumin powder and oregano. Stir well and cook for a further 2-4 minutes
5. Add the black beans, pinto beans, sweetcorn and passata to the pan and stir well. Use 250 ml of the hot water to clean the passata container and add to the pan. Add more water as required
6. Bring to a low simmer stirring occasionally and cook for ~60 minutes until the chilli is a thick rich dish. You can add more water during cooking to get the consistency you like
7. Stir in half the chopped coriander and serve. Sprinkle the top with the remaining coriander.
