The recipe that I am offering today however, is perfect for a quick meal and one that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Here is a student friendly recipe for a vegan alternative to the classic chilli.
To make the chilli sauce all you need is an onion, a tin of chopped tomatoes and a range of tinned beans (I know this probably poses as more of a challenge at the moment but any beans will do whether it’s kidney, cannelloni, chickpeas, red beans or lima beans, they all work the same). Throw all of this together in a pan with a little drop of water, a splash of your favourite oil, and a little dash of red wine, then leave to cook until all vegetables are soft.
Now I am a lover of all things spicy so I add quite a lot of chilli powder to spice up this mix, but for those of you who want a milder option then a sprinkling will usually do. If you’re wanting to add a bit more colour or texture to this dish then you can also add peppers, mushrooms, or even carrots to top up on your five a day.
And there you have it! A simple yet delicious meal that is perfect for a student budget and a must have for the whole family.
