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.
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.
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 : )
