This was an easy recipe took very little time and was very tasty, I served it

with baby new potatoes and carrots, but rice would be great too.

 

Fitzy's veggie mild chilli stew

 

Ingrediants

 

2 onions chopped medium

1 courgette chopped coarsely (zucchini)

5 mushrooms chopped coarsely

1 cup of TVP soaked in liquid concentrated veg stock, dark soya sauce, white

pepper, dried mixed herbs and pinch of salt (with 21/2 cups of water)

1/4 cup of red lentils

2 teaspoons of shelled hemp seeds

Can of tomatoes

small can of kidney beans in chilli sauce

 

Method

 

Firstly soak the TVP and stir thoroughly. Leave to stand for water to be

absorbed and flavour to be soaked in.

Chop the vegetables and put into the casserole dish, add the lentils, shelled

hemp seeds, can of tomatoes, mix thoroughly and season as you like. Leave to

stand for 5 mins.

Add the kidney beans in chilli sauce and stir well.

Finally add the TVP, I personally like to drain off the liquid and add the TVP

to the stew.

I like to add a little veggie gravy to thicken the stew about 1/2 a pint, and

some extra water on top.

Mix well then pop into the oven for about an hour on a medium to high heat,

depending on your oven. I cook it at the top of the oven. Check and stir 1/2 way

through cooking.

 

You can always make it into a hot chilli by adding sauce or chilli powder.

 

Hope you enjoy it as much as we did! My partner has already asked for another

batch to be made. There was enough for 2 lunches to be frozen for another day.

Many Thanks Fitzy
