Instructions

For the chilli

  1. Heat up a large pan on medium heat, add the oil. Once heated at the chopped garlic followed by the chopped onion and stir

  2. Add chopped potatoes and all the seasoning (all-purpose, cumin, paprika and chili), and stir. Once the onion becomes translucent, add the chopped tomatoes and kidney beans.

  3. Add the chopped broccoli, tomato purée and sugar. Bring to boil and season to taste with salt and pepper.

  4. Simmer (lower heat) for 15 mins, covered with a lid.

  5. Add the spinach and continue to cook for a further 5 mins with the lid off so that the sauce thickens further

For the rice

  1. Rinse rice in a sieve then add to a pan. Add the boiled water and stock cube (stir to dissolve)

  2. Bring to boil then cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to a minimum for 10-15 mins until soft. If there still water yet to be absorbed then drain with a sieve.

To serve

  1. Serve the rice and stew, top with chopped avo, nutritional yeast (optional-for a slightly nutty taste) and vegan yogurt- enjoy!
