Red Hot Chilli Concarne
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cups Soya Protein Mince see subs in my notes
- 1 can kidney beans or black beans
- 1 Medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 Can Tomatoes + 1 can water
- 2 Cloves Garlic
- 1 Jalapeño Any chilli pepper will do
Oil Sesoning
- 1/2 Tsp Cumin seeds crushed
- 1/2 Tsp Coriander seeds crushed
- 1 Tbsp Rapeseed Or any other type of vegetable oil
Spices
- 1/2 Tsp Ground coriander
- 1 Tsp Ground cumin
- 2 Tsp Chilli powder add 1 tsp if you don’t like it too spicy. Do a taste test.
- 1/4 Tsp Cayenne pepper
- 1 Tbsp Paprika pepper
- 1 Veg stock cube dissolved in 50 ml water
- 1/4 Tsp Smoked paprika (optional) Spanish Smoked Paprika the best
- 1/4 tsp salt Add more if you need it. Taste all the way.
Instructions
- The first step is to rinse and soak your soya protein mince in about a 1 to 2 cups of hot water. While it is soaking, you can get on with your veg prep and frying.
- Heat up a tbsp of vegetable oil in a deep pan. Add in your crushed seeds and a pinch of salt. Fry on a low to medium heat. You are looking to flavour and heat up the oil.
- While this is going on, finely chop your garlic, onions and chilli and toss into the pan with a pinch of salt.
- Brown onions lightly, then add in your can of tomatoes, water, stock cube and the rest of your season.
- Bring to the boil, then reduce heat slightly and reduce your sauce. This helps cook up the spices and develop a delicious full bodied sauce. Do a taste test. Sometimes adding a pinch of sugar helps to balance acidity from tomatoes.
- Once you sauce has reduced, this usually takes about ten minutes.Mix in your mince, stir to make sure its coated in the sauce, add a drop more water if you need. And let it simmer for another five minutes, then add in your kidney beans and cook for a further five to ten minutes.
- You can if you wish continue to cook gently to develop your sauce more. Or if you are starved and just in from work. Ensure the rice is on while you cook. So when the chilli is finished, just pop in bowl or heap onto a plate of rice and top it off with lots of tasty frills.
Notes
You can easily sub protein mince for lentils, or add in extra veg. There are a number of vegan mince brands readily available, so you could also add this in.
