Vegetable chilli with chocolate
Background
Chili sin carne (i.e. without meat) with chocolate is the latest sensation - and it’s surprisingly tasty! This vegetable chilli with chocolate version is not too spicy, but feel free to add more chilli powder if you like, or add some chilli flakes at the end. This chilli is perfect for weekend get-togethers, parties and family meals, served with rice, tortilla chips or in tortilla wraps. Alternatively layer tortilla chips on a baking tray, cover with some chilli, top with grated cheese and bake in a hot oven for 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 Onion
- 2 Red bell peppers
- 1 leek
- 10 medium mushrooms
- 2 Carrots

- splash of Whiskey
- 30g Dark Chocolate

Instructions
- Chop the onion, mushrooms, leek, red peppers into bite size bits. Finely chop the carrots.

- Heat some oil in a heavy-based pan. Add the chilli powder, cumin, smoked paprika and warm through. Add the onion and gently cook on a low heat for 10 minutes until the onions are a bit browned.
- Add the chocolate, garlic and the chopped fresh chilli. Cook for a minute then add a splash of whiskey ( or red wine) and let it bubble to cook off the alcohol.
