Vegan Chilli

This hearty vegan chilli is a vibrant, plant-based take on a classic comfort food favourite. By using a combination of kidney beans and black beans alongside bulgur wheat, the dish achieves a satisfying, chunky texture that mimics traditional minced beef. The addition of fresh jalapeño and aromatic ground cumin provides a warm, layered heat that develops beautifully as the ingredients simmer together in a rich tomato base.

Ideal for a healthy midweek meal or batch cooking for the week ahead, this fibre-rich recipe is both filling and nutritious. The grated carrots add a subtle natural sweetness to balance the spices, while the bulgur wheat absorbs the savoury flavours of the broth. Serve your homemade chilli in deep bowls with a scattering of fresh coriander and a squeeze of lime for a bright, zesty finish.

How to make Vegan Chilli

  1. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, and jalapeño and sauté, stirring often, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
