Black Bean & Roast Veggie Chilli

• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat the plant-based butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil. • Add jasmine rice. Stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat. Keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don’t peek!

• While the rice is cooking, finely chop onion (see ingredients). • Roughly chop cucumber and radish. • Drain and rinse black beans. • In a medium bowl, combine radish, cucumber and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Toss to combine. • Season to taste and set aside.

• When the veggies have 5 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion until tender, 4-5 minutes. • SPICY! Add less spice blend if you’re sensitive to heat. Add Mexican Fiesta spice blend, tomato paste and remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium. • Stir in vegetable stock powder, the water (for the sauce) and black beans and cook until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes.

• Stir roasted veggies through the chilli. Season to taste.
