This plant-based Vegetarian Chilli with mixed beans is so easy to prepare and takes just twenty minutes to cook in the Thermomix. You can have it on its own with lots of toppings or over a big bowl of brown rice for a healthy and nutritious dinner.
I've been making a lot of desserts lately so thought it's about time I make some savoury food for the blog. This wholesome and hearty Vegetarian Chilli is bursting with flavour and is the perfect winter comfort food.
I've used Woolworths canned four bean mix which consists of chickpeas, red kidney beans, green baby lima beans and borlotti beans but you could use any beans you like. It's a wonderful alternative to Chilli Con Carne to have on Meatless Monday and is budget friendly as well.
This Vegetarian Chilli tastes even better the next day if you wanted to make it ahead. I love it served with sliced avocado, a spoonful of coconut yogurt, some fresh sliced chilli peppers and some fresh coriander. It also tastes great over a jacket potato, cauliflower rice, brown rice, quinoa or with some tortilla chips.
