Veggie Chilli con Carne with Quorn Mince

Louise

Looks absolutely nothing like the chilli in the picture and I followed the recipe exactly. Mine is very wet. Lots of tomato sauce. However, it tastes nice and I will make it again. Maybe tweak the spices to suit my taste more and add less passata but more tomato purée. But overall a satisfactory tea.

Karen

We followed the recipe but added a little red wine and a dash of Worcestershire Sauce as well as some chilli powder. Really lovely and will definitely have this again.

Love this chilli recipe. I've added chipotle paste to give it a more Mexican taste.

Cooked double this for a family get together. It's something I often do, but glad of the guidance on which herbs and spices to use. I added a carrot or two and a few mushrooms near the end. I prefer to cook my Quorn longer than 10 mins though. At least 20.

Try adding a tin of Heinz tomato soup instead of the 500ml tomato passata. Was cooking this recipe one night and found I didn't have the pasata so improvised with the soup instead and it worked really well with this recipe. Give it a try.

Emily

This was so delicious! I was impressed by how quick and easy it was to cook, a newfound favourite. I did add a bit of water - near the end as some of the reviews suggest.

I've been making this weekly for months now, it's gorgeous! If I've no fresh chilli I used crushed chilli flakes, I also add a can of green lentils and slightly reduce the amount of quorn mince, yummy.

The recipe is that good that I've gotten major meat eaters on to eating Quorn.

Great recipe, I always add chopped carrot and extra pepper to include more veggies!

Excellent recipe. I added a half a scotch bonnet pepper (deseeded!) to add a fruity kick to the recipe. Tasted superb with spaghetti as well as rice.

Kathryn

Great recipe- easy to make. I add 2 stock cubes though, and a generous tablespoon of marmite to enhance the flavour!

David

A solid intro-level Chilli, that is both healthy and tasty!

Natalie

Came out delicious! I will definitely make this again. I currently live alone and this recipe made enough for 4 (large) meals - 3 paired with rice and 1 alone to finish off the remainder. Slight alterations made: - Used 2 cans of diced tomatoes instead of 1 can + passatta - had none to use - Used peas instead of beans - had none to use - Used hot paprika instead of normal paprika - Used frozen mixed peppers instead of fresh red pepper - Added extra cumin and garlic for additional flavour - Added extra chilli powder - Added some salt and ground pepper at the end

Great recipe. Easy to follow and good results.

Sarah

Delicious. Served it with potato wedges

Lexi

Very dry & tasteless, and honestly quite disappointed by how it turned out. I'd add way more spices to this to amp up the flavours. Sticking to my bean chilli from now on though.

Megan

Delicious ! Very filling and great flavours

Diane

Delicious!!!!

As a vegetarian I have always struggled with products that are too meaty in texture. This was the perfect balance for me - wholesome and satisfying, but more interesting than just the 3 bean versions, with a really nice consistency. Loved it!

Teresa

Delicious!! Such an easy recipe to follow. I have tried it on meat eaters too, who were also impressed.

Dawn

So delicious.

Simon

Delicious!

Shona

Had to add a wee bit of water but final result was absolutely delicious! Will definitely make again, and again, and again!

Double the seasoning if you like flavour and plan to use a whole packet of Quorn mince, use a big pot too as it makes a good portion. I also add a few splashes of Worcestershire sauce, cup of veg stock and red wine stock cube. Works well in the slow cooker or low and slow to really let the spices work their magic over a few hours. I also use la chinata smoked paprika for a fuller flavour and finish with nutritional yeast flakes -bingo!

Carla

Great recipe! I usually add a bit more seasoning, but that just depends on what you like.

Jules

Absolutely loved this.. made it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and could not get enough.. just made it again tonight.. 10/10

Rach Davies

Absolutely fab! It's not too spicy either if you go for the minimum of chilli etc so it's great for any spice level! Me, my partner and our young son had clean plates all round. Keen to try some more recipes on here!

Victoria

Quick, simple and tasty. I didn't have any fresh red chilli so added a teaspoon of Ancho and Chipotle flakes instead. I also used more spices and garlic as we like those. I used black beans instead of kidney beans. I suspect that other vegetables could be added if you want to bulk up the vegetable side: diced courgettes, sweetcorn, maybe green beans would all go nicely in this. My son likes to have some grated cheese with chilli and maybe some sour cream or yogurt.

Scarlett

Easy and tasty midweek dinner. I personally added a little more of each spice to give it an extra kick. Tastes even better the next day and you can get a few meals out of it if you're a couple!

Jill

Thought this tasted and smelt fantastic. Hubby thought it was meat, not quorn and ate the lot. It was full of flavour.
