Ingredients

  • 3,5 oz soy mince
  • 1 onion
  • 2-3 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 can of black beans
  • 24 oz tomato passata
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 4 oz sweet corn

Toppings

  • Plant-based yogurt
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Lime
  • Avocado

Instructions

To make fresh pumpkin puree

  • Cut into chunks around 14 oz of pumpkin. Place on a sheet pan and roast for about 35 minutes or until the pumpkin is fork-tender.
  • Transfer the roasted pumpkin to a belnder jug and blend until you have a smooth consistency.

Pumpkin Chili

  • Leave the soy mince soaking in hot water or stock for a few minutes, until it softens.
  • Heat some olive oil in a pan and add finely chopped onion. When it starts to soften, add pressed or finely chopped garlic, cumin, sweet paprika, and tomato paste. Stir and leave cooking for 5-6 minutes.
  • Add the soaked soy mince, the pumpkin puree, the black beans, the tomato passata, and oregano. Stir and leave simmering for about 15 minutes. You can add some salt at this point if you didn’t use stock to soak the soy mince.
  • Add the corn. Stir, leave to cook for two more minutes and turn the heat off. Your chilli is not ready to be served with your favourite toppings.
