Delicious for everyone, not just vegetarians, this healthy chilli is bursting with flavour. Serve it with guacamole to make it extra special, and with soured cream, too, if liked.

1	large onion, finely chopped
1	red pepper, deseeded and finely diced
2	garlic cloves, finely grated
1 tbsp each of	ground cumin and ground coriander
1 tsp	sweet smoked paprika
¼ tsp	hot chilli powder
2 x 400g tins	mixed salad beans, drained and rinsed
1 x 400g tin	chopped tomatoes

300ml (½ pint)	vegetable stock
1 tbsp	tomato purée
1 tbsp	mango chutney
1 × 198g tin	sweetcorn, drained

Method

Heat the oil in a deep, lidded, frying pan over a high heat. Add the onion and pepper and fry for 3–4 minutes. Add the garlic and spices and fry for 10 seconds.

Stir in the beans, chopped tomatoes, passata, stock, purée and mango chutney. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bring up to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover with a lid and simmer for about 40 minutes.

Check the seasoning and stir in the sweetcorn and coriander.

Serve the chilli hot with rice, some grated cheese, soured cream and guacamole (see page 37 of Mary Makes It Easy), if liked.
