Ingredients
Method
Ingredients
- Olive oil
- 1 Large onion (chopped)
- 2 peppers (finely chopped)
- 2 sticks of celery (finely chopped)
- Large bunch of coriander
- 2tsp Bart smoked garlic paste
- 1tbsp Bart umami paste
- 2tsp Bart green chilli paste
- 2tsp Bart ground coriander
- 2tsp Bart oregano
- 1-2tsp Bart chilli powder
- 1tbsp Bart ground cumin
- 100ml red wine
- 1 tin refried beans
- 2 tins peeled plum tomatoes
- 400ml vegetable stock
- 20g dark chocolate
- 400g red kidney beans
- 400g black beans
Method
- Preheat oven to 190c.
- Heat a generous glug of olive oil in a heavy based pan over a medium heat, then add your onions, peppers and celery. After a few minutes, finely chop the stalks of the coriander and add these. Sweat all of this down for 10 mins or so, until the onions are beginning to turn golden.
- Add all of your pastes and stir for 2 minutes or so.
- Then add all of your spices and stir for another 2 mins until really fragrant.
- Now add your refried beans, tins of tomatoes and stock. Roughly break up the tomatoes with your spoon, give a good stir, and then leave to bubble away for 45-60 mins. Keep checking and stirring throughout, adding water if it looks like it’s drying out.
- Whilst this is cooking away, finely chop up your cauliflower (leaves as well - waste not, want not!). You could do this in a food processor, but be careful not to over process, otherwise it can end up a bit mushy - we think it’s much nicer chunky!
- Add the cauliflower into a mixing bowl, and coat well with the cumin, olive oil and salt and pepper.
- Spread thinly over a couple of baking trays and cook for 15-20 mins - get out and mix it around half way through.
- Once your chilli had reduced to a thick sauce, add your kidney beans and black beans and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Finish you chilli by mixing through a very generous handful of finely chopped coriander
- Serve together with your cauliflower, and anything else you like! We love it with soured cream and some added sriracha sauce for an extra kick. Enjoy!
