This chilli is a nutritional dream and a truly great dish to cook for #veganuary! We do love a good plant-based chilli recipe at BOSH! and have made a fair few in our time. This super healthy high protein vegan recipe is packed full of nutrients, not to mention- it's SO DELICIOUS.

Before you start
Large lidded pan
First, cook the onion and garlic
- Warm the olive oil in a large pan and fry the onions until they're translucent
- Add the garlic and stir it in to the onions. Keep stirring until you release the aroma
- Add the coriander stalks, chilli and stir everything round so it's well mixed
- Add some more olive oil to make sure the onions don't stick to the pan
Then add the veggies and tofu
- Add the red pepper and the celery stalks and stir them into the rest of the ingredients
- Pour the Kale into the pan and stir it round until it's well wilted
- Break the tofu into the pan, add the spices and seasoning and fold everything together so it’s well mixed
- Pour half of the tomato passata into the pan and fold it in so everything is well covered
Add the beans and simmer
- Add the black beans, kidney beans and dark chocolate to the pan and fold everything together
- Add the rest of the tomato passata and mix everything together
- Put a lid on the pan, reduce the heat to a very gentle simmer and let it bubble for 12 - 15 minutes to let the flavours blend together (only do this if you have a good non stick pan - if you don’t have a non-stick pan, gently stir the chilli for around 10 minutes)
- Serve with brown rice and garnish with mixed seeds, cilantro leaves and lime juice
