Spiced black bean & charred corn chilli

Spiced black bean & charred corn chilli

Adding lightly charred seasonal sweetcorn to this veggie chilli adds crunch and another layer of sweetness along with the spices and umami flavours from the beans and lentils. No need to serve with rice, just add flavourful toppings and some tortillas for crunch and scooping!

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp chipotle paste
  • 2 tbsp Ottolenghi Sweet & Smokey Blend
  • 300g lentils
  • 2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
  • 750ml vegetable stock, hot
  • 2 Essential Sweetcorn
  • 100g bulgar wheat
  • 420g can black beans, drained

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan, add the onion and cook for 5 minutes over a medium heat, until starting to soften.

  2. Add the chipotle paste and spice mix, stir for a couple of minutes, then stir in the lentils, tomatoes and stock. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender.

  3. Heat a dry frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the sweetcorn for 8-10 minutes, turning often, until tender, golden and lightly charred. Cut away the kernels from the cob and set aside.

  4. Stir the bulgur wheat and black beans into the lentils and cook for 5 minutes, adding a little more water or stock if it looks a bit dry. Add the sweetcorn, then serve with grated Cheddar, soured cream, chopped coriander and tortilla chips, if liked.

Cook’s tip

Adjust the heat of the chilli depending on your preference. Add a little chopped fresh chilli, pickled jalapeños or dried chilli flakes to serve, if you want an extra kick.
