How to make Vegan Chili Beans:

  1. Prep the vegetables: Begin by dicing the onion, bell peppers, and carrots, and mincing the garlic.
  2. Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Sauté the Aromatics: Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Cook the vegetables: Add the diced bell peppers and carrots to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.
  5. Add the beans and tomatoes: Stir in the black beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes (with their juice), and tomato purée/paste.
  6. Season the Chilli: Add the chilli powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  7. Simmer: Pour in the vegetable stock/broth, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld together.
  8. Add the corn: Stir in the corn kernels and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  9. Finish with lime juice: Just before serving, add the lime juice and stir well.
  10. Garnish and serve: Ladle the chilli into bowls and garnish with fresh coriander/cilantro. Serve hot.
