    This was a quick and delicious chilli. The only change I made was to substitute light sour cream for the creme fraiche. Only change next time? I will double the recipe!

    i loved this - so gorgeous and healthy! only thing this doesn't serve 4 more like 2 with good appetites - double the ingredients if you are serving more people.

    This is an excellent, tasty vegetarian chilli. I added a spoonful of toamato puree to help thicken the sauce and a bunch of coriander to give more colour and flavour.

    **** As usual when came to make receipe I had an ingredient missing so I used can of mixed bean salad and served with garlic cous cous. It was very tasty and very mooris. Importantly it is very quick and easy to make and lovely and warming.

    Very quick, easy and popular. I added sweetcorn, used more chillies, and followed someone else's suggestion by adding fresh coriander as a garnish, served with rice - delicious.

    I also garnished with fresh corriander. I swapped the beans for mangetout. I think it serves 2 people not 4 (my boyfriend even said he was still hungry). But even if we were being slightly greedy it is a good recipe to pig out on with so few calories and so much veg in it.

    A really simple and yummy recipe. I swapped the beans for sliced baby courgettes and added some chilli powder to give it a bit more kick.

    I liked this recipe but would make a few alterations to suit us. I added an onion and tomato puree to thicken the sauce and maybe wouldnt add so much water next time. I served with rice and tortilla crisps. yum. Its a healthy, lowfat meal I enjoyed it.

    i agree that i would not serve 4 people-I added cornflour to thicken the sauce, so would not add as much water next time as it does not really reduce down as it claims, but a really nice, healthy, low fat chilli. Maybe next time I would add the traditional chilli spices to make it really authentic??!! Goes nicely with tortillas and I had bread to mop up the sauce.

    Great recipe - I've never added green beans before and it worked very well. I added a half tsp of smoked sweet paprika with the cumin and the flavour was awesome. Also used roasted garlic instead of raw.

    Great recipe, but like many others I would adapt it slightly to personal preference. Less water, more chilli and a touch of tomato puree to thicken if needed. Will 100% keep making this.

    i liked this recipe, but it had a little too much fluid and did not taste quite as authentic or like a normal chilli.

    lovely recipe, the cumin gave a real warmth to the dish. I used butter beans instead of kidney beans. I wondered if some lemon or white wine during the cooking would have balanced the flavours more

    Was very pleasantly surprised by this recipe - mainly chosen to use up some chestnut mushrooms. It was very flavoursome although as other reviews have said, not terribly filling. I added a leek along with the garlic and chilli, then a half tsp of coriander with the cumin and a splodge of sun-dried tomato paste for richness. The beans needed a bit longer than 5 mins. Served with crusty bread, creme fraiche and a bit of cheese - excellent midweek meal.

    Did not use water but the liquid from the tin of tomatoes. Excellent result (but for 2 pers. only)
