Background
During the winter months this hearty mixed bean and lentil chilli makes us feel warm and healthy. Itβs a bit spicy but flavoursome and nutritious. Serve it with wholesome bread.
Ingredients
- Β½ cup black beans
- Β½ cup red lentils
- Β½ cup moth beans
- Β½ cup yellow mung dal
- Β½ cup chickpeas
- Β½ cup (or more) buckwheat grain or brown rice
- 1 leek or onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 Tbsp tomato purΓ©e
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp chipotle paste
- 1 β 1.5 litre vegetable stock (approx.)
- 2 carrots
- Handful of Coriander leaves
- 1 lime, juiced
Instructions
- Soak the beans and lentils overnight (the buckwheat too, if used) and drain just before cooking. Rinse and drain again.
- Thinly slice the garlic and onion/leek and gently sautΓ© them in a large saucepan, using a small amount of oil.
- Add the tomato purΓ©e, spices and chipotle paste, then stir for a minute. Add the pulses and your chosen grains. Pour in most of the stock, add the carrots (cut into large chunks) and bring to the boil.
- Put a lid on, and gently simmer for about 30-40 minutes, until the veggies are tender. You might need to add more stock - you want a thick, but not too stodgy, stew.
- Serve with chopped chopped coriander leaves and some lime juice.
