We weren't kidding when we dubbed this chilli 'ultimate'. It's deep, dark, smoky and possibly the richest chilli we've ever tasted. The mushroom mince gives it a really meaty texture, and not-so-traditional ingredients like soy sauce and maple syrup work surprisingly well. Red wine and a little dark chocolate take it even deeper. This could well be the BEST BOSH! RECIPE EVER!
