Vegan Chilli is a great supper. We like it with three types of beans, plus vegan mince. Without the mince its too much like tomato bean stew (now there’s nothing inherently wrong with bean stew, but it’s not Vegan Chilli is it!) . Serve with corn chips, vegan cheese and vegan sour cream or yoghurt and it’s wonderful. For this recipe we used Vivera mince as I think the texture works really well – some vegan minces are a bit too mushy.
When you’re making Vegan Chilli the spice level is up to you. We like ours on the mild side, but if you prefer just add in some fresh chilli’s, or increase the amount of Chilli Powder to 3 tsp or use Hot Chilli Powder.
