Just when I thought the summer had arrived, the heavens open and remind us all that we live in Britain, not Spain.
With the chillier days come the need for some comfort food. Today especially as I had to fetch out my winter boots to do the school run. This chilli was just what I needed to warm up and cosy down on a rather grey day.
Black beans are quickly becoming my new favourite ingredient. They are so versatile, so tasty and the best thing… My little man doesn’t pick them out of his dinner like he usually does with kidney beans! Black beans are smaller and softer and easier to disguise in your meal whilst bulking it out and adding extra flavour and protein.
This chilli is packed with different flavours and textures and is a great hearty meal perfect for feeding a crowd. You could serve it with wholegrain rice, baked potatoes or quinoa and a side salad. If you want to make it extra fancy you could top it off with some sour cream, grated cheese and avocado too! Yum!
