Vegetarian Chilli con Carne with Quorn Mince

JC

A great recipe which I've been making for years. So I'm not sure why it only gets 3 stars overall on here. Similar to others, I omit the chocolate, use dried chili's and sometimes splash out on fresh coriander but the recipe is still great without these additions. Great flavour, nice sauce consistency. Would give 6 out of 5 stars if I could!

Reliable chilli - 6 portions for us if you follow the recipe (freezes really well - I’ve assumed it’s ok to freeze!). I don’t bother with fresh coriander at the end (or the sugar/chocolate). I also use dried chilli over fresh - just keeps the cost down a bit. Fab over a jacket spud, nachos or brown rice.

Great always reliable

This was delicious and super filling, I added button mushrooms and it made 6 large portions. I also use this bolognese to make vegetarian lasagne. Brilliant recipe, thanks

This does make a good wholesome chilli however as others have said the Passata can be left out. I tend to modify the recipe using Agave syrup instead of sugar and dry-frying sliced mini courgettes before the onions. Towards the end add quartered mushrooms. Jalapeño’s add a Mexican twist.

Yum

Doesn't need any passata. We eat this weekly, it's great. Using passata makes it far too liqyidy though. Especially for nachos.

First time I have cooked chilli con carne. I had friends round for a meal and when I was looking for something to cook I found this. It was very easy to make and it's was lòved by each one of us.

Am I missing something here, or does the “Method”. Not state when to add the quorn mince? Nice steps on the spices and sauce though

Lou

Easy to follow recipe and makes a decent chilli. Would add way more chilli than recipe though as although tasty would have liked more heat.

Lorna

Super recipe, lovely and tasty with the layers of spices, quick and easy to make, will definitely make again.

Lorraine

Very easy recipe and very tasty!

I have used this recipe sooo many times and modified it randomly. I am living in France at the moment and there’s no quorn :( so I am using an alternative and it works well.

Really good recipe, If you prepare onions garlic and peppers beforehand it’s ideal for multitasking, adding one ingredient after the other. I have added 3 potatoes in small cubes and precooked, and served with whole grain jasmine rice. Lovely.

Easy and delicious. I'm a massive carnivore but didn't miss the meat and saved on calories too. Quorn quonvert.

This is a really delicious chilli. A definite crowd pleaser and easy to make.

So delicious and easy to make

Sharon

Great recipe. I didn't have some of the spices and only used 3 garlic cloves, smoked sweet paprika and a few teaspoons of "easy chillies" from a jar plus brown sugar. Delicious

This recipe was absolutely delicious! I doubled it and it made about 15 big portions,a few I froze. I served with sour cream and guacamole and I couldn't believe how flavorful the dish was! So easy. I will add this to my batch cook rotation. It kept fine in fridge for 5 days :)

Recipe works well - try frying sliced Mini courgettes with the onions then add mushrooms both add extra taste and texture

Raymondo

A lot of sauce. But tasted good. I added some left over spuds to soak up the sauce.

Janet Braithwaite

Easy to make, delicious, and healthy

Rich

Ricky Lee

Really enjoy this recipe with some moderations (I add extra garlic and chilli flake). It makes so much food and is very healthy - great for January!

I added read wine too, yo give it some zing! Delicious!

Marty

This recipe is a very good basis for a delicious chilli no carne. I do modify it a little bit: it's too spicy for me, so I use less paprika and a little bit of crushed chilli powder rather than whole chillies. I also use double the amount of cumin because I love the taste it adds!!! Overall, if you tweak it slightly to your personal tastes, this recipe makes a very delicious dish!!
