This vegan chili sin carne is the perfect comforting and cosy meal for these cold winter days. It’s full of flavour and only requires simple ingredients. It goes perfectly with rice, potatoes or bread. It is ready in less than 30 minutes and it is very simple to make.
This is one of my favourites comfort foods. I used to love it as a non-vegan, and the vegan version is just as delicious! It’s the perfect dish to impress any non-vegans, vegan mince is surprisingly similar to real mince and the strong flavours of the chilli will give the overall dish a delicious taste. This recipe can also be made completely “meat” free, you can add more peppers and black beans and avoid using mince. You can also substitute it for soy chunks.
This vegan chili sin carne shows how vegan food doesn’t have to be complicated, swapping mince for vegan mince is a very straightforward swap and nowadays there are so many delicious alternatives, where the texture is spot on. All major supermarkets have vegan mince of some sort of meat alternative.
I’m not a fan of spicy food, hence why the recipe calls for a small amount of chili. It can be made spicier simply by adding more chili.
This vegan chili con carne is:
- healthy
- comforting
- dairy-free
- gluten-free
- great for meal prpe
