Background

Chilli sin carne is very popular vegetarian Tex-mex dish. This mushroom chilli recipe is an easy version, ready in under half an hour. It's quite spicy though, so if you like your food mild, do reduce the chilli powder!

2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chilli powder

Add the tinned tomatoes, tomato purée, and the drained beans. Season with salt & pepper, add the sugar and cook for about 20 minutes .
