Vegetable chilli

Ingredients

Courgettes, sliced

1 onion, chopped

Few cloves of garlic, chopped

4 carrots, chopped

French/runner beans, chopped in half

4-5 fresh tomatoes- use the ones that are over ripe if possible

1 tin of chopped tomatoes

Chilli powder

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 tin of red kidney beans

Sunflower oil

Directions

1. Fry the onion and garlic in the oil until soft.
2. Add chilli powder to taste (I like a spicy chilli so put 2-3 tspns) and stir to stop it sticking.
3. Add the remaining veg in order of firmness, e.g. carrots, then courgettes, then beans, then tomatoes, and cook for a few minutes each time.
4. Drain the kidney beans in a sieve and rinse in fresh water. Add to the pot along with the tinned tomatoes.
5. Bring to simmering point, season to taste, cover, and simmer for 15-20 mins.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning/chilli to suit.
7. Serve with rice or a jacket potato. Enjoy :)
