This recipe is a vibrant and delicious twist on the original chilli con carne, but without the animal protein. It’s a perfect choice for all the family to enjoy on a Meatless Monday and is a great way to pack lots of extra plants into your day.
Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4. Place your vine tomatoes in a roasting tray, drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 30 minutes or until the edges of the tomatoes begin to darken.
Meanwhile, sauté the leeks, garlic, onion and tempeh in a tablespoon of olive oil over a medium heat until they begin to turn golden, about 7-8 minutes.
Add the chopped tomatoes and simmer on a low heat for another 15 minutes. Add a splash of water if the bottom of the pan begins to catch. Add the beans and roasted tomatoes.
Season with cinnamon, cayenne (if using), cumin, salt and pepper, then add 125ml water and simmer all together, covered with a lid, for another 30 minutes. Stir occasionally and add more water as needed if the mixture gets too thick.
Taste again to check for seasoning and serve with the avocado, lime wedges and coriander.
