This dish is as tasty and can be as spicy as the traditional meat recipe. Just spice it up to taste.
Works well with all healthy rices or cauliflower rice for a lower calorie option.
The following quantities add up to around 1950 calories. A 265g portion (11th of total amount made) equates to 180 calories: obviously, on a normal daily intake you can enjoy double the quantity, or more if you're really hungry! Using 5% fat beef mince adds around 20 more calories to a 265g serving: 10% fat mince adds 55 calories. We usually serve it with wholegrain basmati rice, with a good few cubes of frozen chopped spinach thrown in for the last 5 minutes of the cooking time: really, you can’t taste it, but it adds another level of fibre and nutrients (including iron) to the meal. Instead of the spice mix you can make your own blend of salt, chilli powder and ground cumin (I would use around 4 tsp chilli and 2 tsp cumin for this quantity and maybe a little corn flour to thicken).

Ingredients
-
400 grammes
chopped onions
-
400 grammes
red pepper finely chopped deseeded and destalked weight
-
2 tins
red kidney beans 240g drained and rinsed weight
-
3 tins (400g)
Chopped tomatoes
-
600 grammes
Quorn mince
-
2 packs
Schwarz Chilli Mix
Instructions
Chop the onions and peppers before softening in a little FryLight. Once mixture is nice and juicy, separate into 2 different pans if going for a mild/hot or veggie/meatie split before adding appropriate spices and stirring through.
Add tinned tomatoes and kidney beans and mix well. Then add chosen protein source: Quorn can be tipped in straight from the freezer, but I would recommend browning beef mince in a separate pan first.
Simmer for 30 minutes for Quorn or 1 hour for beef.
