El Peevador's Vegan Chilli Magnifico

Serves 6

Ingredients

1 Red Onion
2 branches celery
2 carrots
1 can kidney beans
1 handful pinto beans
1 handful black beans
1 Red pepper and or Green

4 Cloves Garlic
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 Lime
1 small tin corn
1 bunch of fresh coriander
1 fresh chilli if liked spicy

2 tsp smoked paprika (important that it is smoked!)
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp cayenne (or chipotle is better if you can find it)
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp sugar
1 bay leaf

1/2 veggie stock cube dissolved in 500ml water
 
Sunflower Oil
Salt and Pepper

** Soak the beans the night before if using dried

1) Dice red onion, celery, carrots and red pepper.
2) In big pot, put some sunflower oil and cook diced vegetables for 5-6 minutes on medium with the salt
3) Dice the garlic and add to vegetables cooking for 2 minutes with the spices (paprika, cumin, oregano, pepper and sugar). Stir constantly.
4) Add the diced tomatoes, corn and the bay leaf, stir for 1 minute
5) Add the vegetable stock and 500 ml water
6) Bring to simmer, cover and stir from time to time
7) Let simmer at least 30-40 mins (add more water if need be and/or salt)

Important trick : Either blend a bit of the mixture with an immersion blender or transfer a bit out and blend it to give a more "meaty texture"

8) Once ready to serve, add the juice of 1 lime and some fresh coriander for garnish with the fresh diced chilli

You can also try this by using just 1 type of bean and then use mushrooms for a meatier chilli or even a sweet potato

Mucho gusto con el Peevador!
