  • 500 g red kidney beans drained
  • 1/2 cup tomato puree
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper

  • Add the Quorn mince and kidney beans together with all the spices and tomato puree' on low heat for 5 minutes.
  • Add the water, stirring thoroughly. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Serve immediately with baked sweet potato, rice, taco or tortilla chips. Top the chilli with guacamole, sour cream, grated cheddar and/or a sprinkle of chopped spring onions

Notes

  • To use baked sweet potatoes as a side dish, bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 40 minutes. Alternatively, if you're in a hurry you can microwave a 900KW for 8 minutes. Then cut in half each baked potato and slice each top lengthways. Fill with a generous amount of chili mixture; top each with 2 tbsp guacamole or sour sauce.
