Notes
- This recipe serves six when eaten with white rice. It freezes really well so pop any excess in the freezer for another time. Also a great batch cooking meal!
- Adding the red pepper right at the end means it keeps its texture and adds crunch to the chilli. If you would prefer it softer, just simmer the chilli for ten more minutes before serving.
- Get creative with your toppings - you could try vegan yoghurt, pickled jalepenos, avocado, crumbled tortilla chips.
