Chili-non-Carne

-Serves 4-5
Probably one of the most wholesome vegan meals I have had in a very long time, my Chili-non-Carne is thick, luscious, meaty and everything a chili should be. What’s even better - it’s made with vegan, plant-based mince, tastes incredible and is extremely satisfying. My family loves this recipes with rice, on crispy nachos, and best of all, with creamy polenta. Simply serve a ladleful or two of this brown beauty on carbs of your choice, top it with creamy avocado and voila, dinner is served!

Hope you give this a try, along with our other beautiful plant-based recipes for a clean and green future. Happy cooking!
