Chilli is the perfect autumn/winter comfort food. This black bean version is incredibly simple to make and only costs around £5 (non organic) for 4-6 portions and roughly £7 if you’re going organic. Meaning it’s incredibly cheap to make.

It is super simple to make and probably one of the easiest vegan chilli recipes you will find.

Trust me if you serve this up to the family they’re going to love it!

It is also gluten free and plant based.

I absolutely love serving mine on top of roasted potatoes or even on top of brown rice with a dollop of coconut yoghurt to cut through the spice.

Give it a go, I would love to hear what you think!

I like to serve mine on brown rice or inside a roasted sweet potato and top it with plain coconut yoghurt, extra chillies and fresh coriander.

The chilli mix will freeze well, I just allow it to cool once cooked and portion it out ready for freezing!
