Instructions
- Add oil to a large pan and fry onions and celery until softened.
- Meanwhile, using a food processor, pulse mushrooms until they resemble mince (1). Add mushroom mince to the onions and celery, fry until mushrooms release their moisture.
- Add garlic, stir and cook for 1 minute.
- Add spices and cook for a further 1 minute.
- Add tomato purée and chipotle paste and stir.
- Add wine and simmer until reduced.
- Add kidney beans, black beans and chopped tomatoes.
- Add soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, dark chocolate and give mixture a good stir.
- Add Carolina reapers (only if you are using them and have a high tolerance for spice!!!)
- Bring to the boil and then set to a low simmer for 2 hours
- Serve with whatever you fancy! (2)
Notes
- If you don’t own a food processor you could use a sharp knife to finely chop your mushrooms.
- I like to serve mine topped with grated cheese, a portion of rice, tortilla chips and a dollop of soured cream. This helps with the spice!
