    Really tasty and very simple to do, using black beans is a great idea for variation on usual veg chilli!

    Great vegetarian main course that everyone will love. Cider vinegar adds depth and we all loved adding out own favourite bits and pieces, radishes, avocado etc

    This was a very easy and fast dish to prepare. There was almost nothing in the fridge and I wanted to prepare something healthy. All the ingredients for this recipe were in my cupboard and that's how I ended up trying it! It went down well with my husband and 8 year-old, no mean feat especially since it was meatless. I'll definitely try it again.

    This is a really tasty and quick dish that even my meat loving husband really enjoyed! The radishes and sour cream are an excellent addition - and a sprinkling of chopped corriander works well too.

    This is now one of our family favourites, and my 6 year old son requested it as his "special birthday meal". We have served it with rice, or with tortilla wraps, home-made guacamole, grated cheese & creme fraiche. One of the nicest chillies I've had and you certainly don't miss the meat. The flavour of the cumin and the tang of the vinegar make it something special.

    This is now a staple for our 'make Mondays meet free' efforts. Avocado with 1/2 fat cream fresh gives interesting additional textures and balances the spice. Haven't used mince for my chilli since trying this.

    This never fails to disappoint, always a crowd pleaser! We usually use cayenne chilli pepper for a bit of a kick.

    My husband cooked this for me....it was delicious. It had just the right amount of sweetness and I enjoyed the black beans, not just for vegetarians.

    Tasty and simple recipe. I like the suggestion of the cayenne pepper. This chilli does need a little bit more of a kick.

    Good tip to add more chilli. I also added chopped coriander and lemon juice at the end. Also cooked the chopped toms for 20 mins to get a thicker result and added a chopped red pepper. Mmm

    Was very , very surprised at how tasty this turned out to be. We just had it as a weekday supper, but will use when next have veggie friends over, with the fancy sides in little bowls. Yum.
