One (very generous) serving of this smoky chilli with vegetables and beans comes in at an incredible 220 calories per portion – or 420 calories if adding steamed rice. It can be made with Quorn or low-fat beef mince.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp of vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, peeled and diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled and finely diced
  • 1 green pepper, trimmed and diced
  • 350g of Quorn mince or low-fat beef mince
  • 1 tsp chilli powder, hot chipotle
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 2 tbsp of tomato ketchup
  • 400g of tinned chopped tomatoes
  • 400g of tinned red kidney beans, drained
  • 400g of hot water
  • salt
  • black pepper

 

Method:

  • Heat the oil in a large wok or saucepan and add the onion, carrots, garlic and green pepper. Sauté for about 5 to 8 minutes or until the carrots and onion are soft and the onion opaque. Add the chilli powder, the spices and the Quorn or beef mince and mix well
  • Add the remaining ingredients, mix well and cover; simmer for 10 minutes
  • Check and adjust the seasoning to taste and serve in warm bowls with steamed rice and/or low-fat sour cream & tortilla chips
