I added tomato purée to thicken the sauce and used less water. I also added dried chilli flakes towards the end to give it a real kick. My husband loved it and had seconds!

I doubled the ingredients and also added broccoli and frozen peas with the green beans, and then a handful of baby spinach at the end. It made lots - very freezer friendly! Didn't put in any water, and cooked it for about 10 minutes longer. Absolutely delicious. The creme fraiche is a must!

Oh how yummy! I just ate my first bowl and although I added some salt and an onion in the begining, it looked exactly how it does in the pic and tasted AMAZING! Had with a small dollop of creme fraiche and slice of olive bread. Lovely dinner!

Added red pepper and just a tiny bit of balsamic vinegar; oh, and chilli flakes instand of fresh chillies. Worked really well...

Really tasty. Will definitely make again but did add an onion at the beginning and 2 heaped teaspoons of chipotle paste at the end which gave it a stronger and smokier chilli flavour as i found it slightly bland without it. Served with seeded pitta and sour cream/guacamole and jalapenos.
Really great the next day for lunch too.

This our favourite recipe so far! Its a quick, delicious, one pot meal....which means hardly any washing up time too! If you like it spicy add a few more chilies as its not that hot. Love it.

Good recipe! No need to add 200ml of water as that makes the sauce a bit watery. Adding ground coriander and cayenne pepper are a good addition for more flavour!

Lovely meal. Previous comments about not feeding 4 are correct if you serve it without rice. It would make a good side dish to grilled/roast chicken.

I made this on Friday and it was lush! Was not expecting it to be as tasty as it was!! I also used a red onion and shallot as per previous comments, extra chillies and garlic, added half a (big) courgette and half a green pepper at the mushroom stage and abit of nutmeg. As previous comments the juices from the kidney beans and tomatoes was enough but i added 100ml of veg stock as i wanted to cook it down for abit longer - the end result with a sprinkling of coriander was fab. My boyfriend loves meat and he said it was the bets chilli he had had! Definitely be making this again - so easy and tasty!

This is so delicious cannot believe its such low cal and very filling! I didn't add water due to previous comments. I also used weight watchers creme fraiche and a handful of finely chopped coriander. I bought some sour dough black olive bread from the tesco bakery which went really well! I halved the recipe and there was definitely enough for two people to have a filling lunch.

I used this recipe as a good way of using up old veg from the fridge- onion, carrot, celery fried up first then added a lot of the suggestions from above - courgette, smoked paprika, sweetcorn, less water and tomato puree to thicken. I also put chopped up frankfurters in, which worked really well.

This is a really versatile dish. I make it with different veggies every time, whatever I have on hand.

Delicious - Made double and it fed 7 comfortably with brown rice and lime wholewheat tortilla chips. Served with low fat cheese and no fat sour cream.

Added extra red onions, baby sweetcorn, peppers, mangetout, paprika and it was yummy. Lots of compliments from my hungry guests and they couldn't believe something so low in calories and fat could be so tasty.

This will be a weekly occurrence at our place now. Good for both dinner and lunch the day after : )
