MIXED BEAN CASSEROLE RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Toss the potato wedges in 2 tsp oil and spread out in a single layer on a large baking tray. Cook for 30-35 mins, turning halfway, until tender and golden brown.
• Meanwhile, for the chilli, put the remaining oil into a casserole dish and fry the onion and pepper for 5 mins. Add Cajun spice, pulses, tomatoes and stock. Cover and simmer for 15-20 mins. Remove casserole from the heat and stir in the chocolate until melted. Ladle the chilli into bowls, top each with 1 tbsp soured cream and serve with the wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 160 degrees
• Heat a very large casserole dish on the hob and add the oil. Add the onions and the garlic and stir till softened.
• Add the spices and the chilli and stir as the aroma is released.
• Add the tomatoes, the passata and the tomato puree. Then dissolve the stock cubes in the water and add.
• Add the beans, then the quorn mince stirring all the time. Add everything else, but just half the coriander. Taste, add extra spices/chilli/seasoning if necessary.
• Pop in the oven and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Stir occasionally.
• I prefer to leave the chilli to cool, then reheat before serving as the flavours are enhanced, but this is just my personal preference.
