Tips & Tricks
  • ✔️ Variety of Beans: Use a variety of beans for different textures and flavours. Kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and cannellini beans work well together.
  • ✔️ Customise The Heat: If you are cooking for children or for people who are not a fan of spice, keep the chilli mild and provide some hot sauce on the side for those who enjoy extra heat.
  • ✔️ Topping: Toppings can elevate your chilli to a whole new level. Serve with a variety of toppings like shredded dairy-free cheese, plant-based sour cream, sliced spring onions & avocado, chopped coriander and a wedge of lime!
  • ✔️ Make It Ahead: Chilli often tastes better the next day. Consider making it ahead of time and reheating it for an even richer flavour.
