Daylesford’s simple vegetarian chili recipe combines warming spices with nourishing chopped root vegetables and beans to make a satisfying dish that’s full of plant-based protein. Any hints of spice are instantly cooled with the fresh coriander yoghurt. 

A great way to enjoy fresh produce that has been picked in season all year round, this recipe uses several ingredients from their new Organic Canned Food range including chopped tomatoes and kidney beans. 

INGREDIENTS – serves 4

1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, diced into 2cm cubes
300g butternut squash, diced into 2cm cubes
2 peppers (red, yellow or both)
1 heaped tsp smoked paprika
Generous pinch of chilli powder
1 medium chilli, finely chopped
1 tbsp organic tomato puree
1 can organic chopped tomatoes
1 can organic kidney beans, rinsed
3g fresh kale (leaves picked from 3 big stalks and roughly chopped)

Coriander Yoghurt
150g natural yoghurt
10g fresh coriander, finely chopped
¼ tsp ground coriander
Twist of salt
Lemon juice, to taste

METHOD

Put the onion and garlic into a pan with 1 tbsp of olive oil and sweat over medium heat for 1-2 minutes. 

Next, add the carrot, butternut squash, peppers, spices, fresh chilli and tomato paste then put the lid on the pan and gently sweat for a further 5 minutes.

Add the chopped tomatoes and kidney beans and stir everything together. Return the pan to the heat and simmer gently for a further 20 minutes until thick and flavoursome. Season well to taste with salt and lots of fresh cracked pepper. A few minutes before serving, add in the chopped kale and simmer until wilted.

To make the coriander yoghurt, simply combine all of the ingredients together, adjusting the salt and lemon to taste.

Serve as it is, with rice or baked potatoes and with a big spoonful of yoghurt over the top.
