Chilli Con Carne

Our Chilli Con Carne is a real satiety bomb with over 40% of its energy coming from protein but with an energy density of well under 1 calorie per gram. Even when served with an 80g portion of brown rice and a 50g dollop of sour cream it’s still a high protein and low energy dense meal. Meat-free mince, vegetable stock and a vegetarian Worcestershire sauce can be used as substitute ingredients by vegetarians.

Step 1

Finely chop the onion and garlic and fry these in 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once the onions have softened add the sliced red pepper, mince and the salt. Break up the mince and cook on a relatively high heat until it has browned and is no longer pink. Add the chilli powder and spices and stir well. After 5 minutes add the chopped tomatoes, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste. Cook for 20 minutes over medium heat, stirring regularly so the sauce reduces and does not catch on the bottom of the pan. Add the drained kidney beans and the black pepper and cook for a further 10 to 15 minutes until the mixture has thickened but still remains moist. Taste and add additional seasoning if required. Can be served alone or with brown rice. Suggested servings: Four.
