Vegetarian Chilli

It doesn't look like but this recipe is so easy to make, if you like Mexican food you should definitely give it a try!

Basically is, chop, throw in the pan and slow cook it for about 35 min and there you are, a super delicious chilli! 

I used to do it with TVP (which demanded a pre preparation process) but when I moved to Belgium I discovered a new product- Quorn, that, to me, replaces soy protein perfectly!

I even tried doing it with tofu and works really well too!


Here's the ingredients I used: Quorn (minced, for "bolognese"), red, green, yellow chilli and bell peppers, red beans, sweet corn, 1 can tomato, chilli powder, cumin powder, oregano, salt, onion, garlic, 1 cup vegetable stock (mine was gluten free), olive oil and pinch of sugar (to cut tomato acidity)


Step zero (tip)- having all the ingredients "mis en place" (already prepared: chopped vegetables...) it calls for a lot of ingredients and sometimes I end up forgetting something!

Step 1- sauté chopped onion in olive oil, add garlic and caned tomato, let cook for a couple of minutes. Add Quorn, seasoning, vegetable stock, sweet corn, beens, chillies and peppers. 
Cook in a medium/low fire for about 35 minutes.

Step 2- Check taste, add more salt if needed.
It's ready to serve!

Note: I used half, of each color, chillies with seeds plus chilli powder and it wasn't hot enough, for my taste! Feel free to adapt it to your taste!

It's good served with tortillas, rice...

Enjoy!!!
