This vegan chilli is the 3rd recipe i've made from the recently published BBC Good Food Vegan 2021 magazine, that can also be found on the BBC Good Food website.
We love chilli con carne but didn't miss meat from this dish at all - it's healthy, with lots of vegetables and is full of flavour. Definitely a recipe to be made again and again!
Tips
- Leftovers can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight and reheat on the hob.
- This vegan chilli recipe can easily be adapted if you're cooking for less or more people.

Spanish
At the heart of Spanish cooking are iconic dishes like paella, a flavourful rice dish often made with seafood, chicken, or rabbit, and tapas, small plates of appetisers that showcase a variety of tastes and textures, from patatas bravas (fried potatoes with spicy tomato sauce) to gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp). You'll find all of these and more in this delicious selection of Spanish recipes!!
