‘Good Mood’ Vegetarian Chilli Recipe From Avoca

This Avoca ‘Good Mood’ vegetarian chilli recipe is packed full of nourishing sources of veggie protein like lentils for a hearty and satisfying dish, which won a Great Taste Award this year.

Serves 6-8

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, finely diced
6-8 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh root ginger, peeled and grated
1 tsp smoked chipotle chilli flakes
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 red pepper, chopped into small dice
50g Puy lentils
50g beluga lentils
50g bulgur wheat
50g pearl barley
1 x 450 gram tin of cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
150ml white wine
300g tomato passata
250ml fresh vegetable stock
50g fresh coriander, chopped
Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper

Method:

1. Soak the lentils, barley and bulgur in cold water for an hour and then drain.
2. In a very large pot sweat the diced onion & pepper in the olive oil on a very low heat until translucent, then add the spices, chilli, garlic and ginger and cook for a further 3-4 minutes until fragrances are released.
3. Next, increase the heat slightly and add the wine, let it cook out for a couple of minutes, then add the tomato and 2 cups of stock along with the soaked grains, lentils & chickpeas and simmer gently for around 20 minutes or until grains and lentils are soft and plump. You may need to add extra stock as it simmers and the grains absorb the liquid, just keep topping it up as needed.
4. Season well with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then add freshly chopped coriander.
5. Serve with short-grain or basmati brown rice, some guacamole, a dollop of yoghurt for a healthy heart warming dish.
