Mexican Black Bean Chilli

It is dolloped with sour cream for freshness, topped with pickled onions for zing and scattered with fresh coriander for an aromatic finish. Vegetarian or not, you’ll be going back for thirds!

  1. RICE & SHINE

    Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 150ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork.

  2. PICKLE ME UP

    Boil the kettle. In a bowl, add 10ml of water, 5ml of a sweetener of choice, and the juice of 2 lime wedges. Mix until the sweetener is fully dissolved. Add ¼ of the sliced onion and toss until fully coated. Set aside to pickle.

  3. WELCOME TO FLAVOUR TOWN

    Place a pot, large enough for the bean chilli, over a medium-high heat. When hot, add the remaining onion and the chopped carrot, and fry for 3-4 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Add the grated garlic, ½ the sliced chilli (to taste), and the spice blend. Fry for 1 minute until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the rinsed black beans, the corn, the cooked chopped tomato, and 150ml of boiling water. Leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes or until reduced and thickened, stirring occasionally.

  4. ALMOST THERE…

    When the bean chilli is done, season with salt, pepper, and a sweetener of choice. Drain the pickling liquid from the onions.

  5. BEAN THERE, ATE THAT!

    Plate up a generous helping of the rice and smother in the black bean chilli. Dollop over the sour cream. Top with the pickled onions, the remaining chilli (to taste) and the picked coriander. Serve with a lime wedge. Dive in, Chef!
