    Title: Chilli Non Carne
    Categories: Chilli, Vegetarian
    Yield: 6 Servings

    2 lg Onions
    6 cl Garlic
    2 tb Cooking oil
    1 tb Smoked paprika
    1 tb Cumin; seeds or ground
    1/4 ts Cayenne pepper (optional)
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Black pepper
    800 g Diced tomatoes (2 tins)
    400 g Tin black beans
    400 g Tin kidney beans
    400 g Tin jackfruit in brine or
    - water
    175 ml Red wine
    1 tb Lemon juice or wine vinegar
    1 ts Cocoa powder

    MMMMM--------------------TO SERVE (OPTIONAL)-------------------------
    Lime wedges
    Tortilla chips

    First peel and finely chop your onions, and peel and finely slice your
    garlic. Toss both into a large pan, along with the oil. Add the
    spices, and salt & pepper and cook on a low heat for 10 minutes to
    sweat the onions and soften the garlic without burning or browning
    them.

    Tip in the tomatoes. Drain and thoroughly rinse the black beans and
    kidney beans, and add those too. Drain the jackfruit and tip it in,
    and pour in the wine and lemon juice or vinegar. Add the cocoa
    powder, and give everything a good stir. Bring to the boil very
    briefly, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 40 minutes until the sauce
    has thickened and is glossy and dark red, and smells amazing.

    You can serve this now, or if your timeframe and energy bill allow
    for it, cook it for another 20 minutes with a splash of water to stop
    it drying out, to really pump up the volume on the flavour front.
    Allowing it to cool and then blasting it back through with heat will
    produce a similar effect if the thought of an hour of cooking on the
    hob seems excessive!

    Serve hot, but it's also delicious fridge-cold, as my midnight
    snacking tendencies will testify.
