Recipe: Lazy healthy chilli • 06.12.09
AMELIA
I promised I would come and tell you some of my recipes for cheap and healthy food. Now, as much as I love cooking, I do also get incredibly lazy at times and have been in several states of… economic booms and busts. Even when I’ve had more money to blow on food, somehow I always come back to this recipe because I just love it so much.
Amelia Does Lazy Chilli
4 x tins of tinned tomatoes
1x can of tinned pulses
Chilli paste (bought in a tube because I am THAT lazy)
Quorn mince (optional, you can either remove it all together or add beef mince)
Other ingredients that I add if I have them are: Oxo cubes, whole cloves of garlic, passata, vegetables
Amelia has a recipe that is just as easy as this packet mix!
So, this is the best bit… you just chuck it all in the saucepan together (unless you’re adding meat) and stir and simmer until the rest of the food is ready.
Now, I either use this to put on a jacket potato or with rice as a veggie chilli option. This is quite simple food, I know, but it is so natural and pure and low in calories and high in nutrition and so blimmin’ tasty! Considering if I make it just for me, I can make 2/3 portions for £1 it’s the new superfood!
