method:
- Place the mushrooms in a food processor and blitz for 10 to 20 seconds, until they're the same size as mincemeat. If you don’t have a processor then simply dice the mushrooms into small pieces using a knife.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the onion, garlic, and spices, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the mushroom and fry for another 2-3 minutes.
- Next, add the chopped vegetables, kidney beans, and chopped tomatoes. Bring your chilli to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, until thickened. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Cook the quinoa/rice according to the packet instructions. Steam the broccoli in a small pot with a lid. Place an inch of water in the saucepan, and bring to a simmer for 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Divide the chilli, broccoli and quinoa/rice between three plates.
