Fast-Track Veggie Chilli

May 3, 2017 Leave a Comment

 

 

Try as I might, I can’t avoid the fact that I’m feeling the cold at the moment. I know it’s the beginning of May but I can’t shrug myself out of my cardigan or winter woollies and my fire-side is still a welcome and much visited place of content. Even though I have tried a good few early Summer favourites (like asparagus) I’m still veering back to those winter slow-cooked favourites – call them ‘comfort food’ if you like.

And so this chilli is ticking all the boxes but because I still am venturing into the garden to get it in better shape for those much-longed-for drawn out and balmy evenings it is somewhat ‘fast-track’ in its prep.

I’ve used a tub of fresh tomato and basil sauce to prepare (do the same or use your own favourite tomato sauce with a handful of basil if preferred) and a little ready-made chipotle paste. A can of ready-cooked black beans, a net of mixed Romano peppers/capsicums and a red onion will make up the mix. I have served with rice but you can use cauli rice (see here), another grain mix or a bed of sliced green beans instead – all on the table in about 15 minutes!
