"Chilli Sans Carne" so to speak! Exactly the same as you'd make with mince but substitute the meat for a mix of beans. I buy tins cos I'm not organised enough to soak, but usually a tin of red kidney, tin of cannelini, and tin of barlotti, but any mix will do. When it's cooked I mush it a bit with a potato masher, not completely but just a bit. It's much thicker meal than the meat variety as there isn't so much in the way of gravy, but it's really delicious and good with rice or jacket spuds. Freezes fine too, and will easily make 4 meals, or 6 at a push. Made this on the woodburner yesterday, had some for our main meal tonight with baked pots. Thanks Noo Oh, and have loads left for the freezer. Will serve to visitors next week, nice cheap and easy meal.

They were lovely, we had one each last night, Mark has a small one extra, and today we had one each with some salad for lunch. They went very well with the Spicy Ketchup I made the other day see here. Will be making some more of this, as it only made 3 small jars. The good thing, for me at least, is...I am not missing meat, as much as I thought I would, so the pulses provide the right texture and density to overcome that. So, less meat, less fat, and more money free'd up Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         The Poultry Keeper Forum Index -> Recipes All times are GMT + 1 Hour Goto page Previous  1, 2 Page 2 of 2 Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
