Vegetable chilli
Makes a large pot- I freeze what I don’t want to eat immediately in portions for quick midweek meals.
Again, apologies for the lack of quantities- I just grabbed the veg in this week’s box!
Ingredients
Ingredients
Courgettes, sliced
1 onion, chopped
Few cloves of garlic, chopped
4 carrots, chopped

1 tin of red kidney beans
Sunflower oil
Directions
Directions
- Fry the onion and garlic in the oil until soft.
- Add chilli powder to taste (I like a spicy chilli so put 2-3 tspns) and stir to stop it sticking.
- 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.
- Drain the kidney beans in a sieve and rinse in fresh water. Add to the pot along with the tinned tomatoes.
- Bring to simmering point, season to taste, cover, and simmer for 15-20 mins.
- Taste and adjust seasoning/chilli to suit.
- Serve with rice or a jacket potato. Enjoy :)
