MY VEGAN VERSION OF CHILLI CON CARNE

Disclaimer : No animals where harmed in the production of this meal. Happy Friday foodfightfriday friends this is what I whipped up for my tea as they call it here in Britain, yeah I know, there is no tea in the picture, British call their evening meal tea, I still can't wrap my head around it so I won't blame you for being confused.

This is not an authentic chilli con carne, it has ginger, dramatic pause, da dah. Yes ginger, why, because I think its awesome. Brace yourself for the interesting facts about ginger, it contains a cool natural oil called gingerol, it is a great anti inflammatory and antioxidant, basically it is awesome, and that is all I'm gonna say about it.

Ingredients

300g Soya mince
300g mixed beans
3 onions
Half a garlic
Couple inches of ginger
2 chilli's
1 teaspoon ground coriander
4 teaspoons curry powder
Teaspoon salt

OK so I soak the beans over night, before soaking the beans they were 300g, obviously the weight increased, like me over Christmas.

So I chop up the onions, chilli, garlic and ginger

I grab my handy pressure cooker, sprinkle some mustard seeds and fennel seeds

Lighting oil and chuck in the onions and chilli

Then garlic and ginger

Then Soya mince

A can of tomatoes with a litre of water

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground coriander

4 teaspoons curry powder

Then for the beans

Lid goes on the pot and I cooked it slowly for about an hour and a half

I made some fancy red rice I found in the health shop, and I ate it like no tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by, and cheers for now.
