To celebrate World Meat Free Week we teamed up with DJ BBQ to create a collection of ultimate toppings for your plant-based BBQ this summer. This chilli NON carnie is oozing with melted cheese and topped with crispy onion - a simple twist to a family classic
Cooking Time (Includes Preparation Time): 30-70 mins
Ingredients:
400g Meatless Farm mince
1 pack Meatless Farm sausages (6)
Olive oil
1 medium onion
1 bunch of fresh coriander
1 fresh red chilli, deseeded
2 cloves of garlic, peeled
1 tbsp tomato puree
1 tbsp ground cumin
½ tbsp ground coriander
½ tbsp cayenne pepper (or to your liking!)
2 x 400g tins of chopped tomatoes
Soy sauce
Salt and black pepper
Basmati rice
Soured cream (optional)
Cheese (optional)
6 sausage buns
Method:
1. Place a cast-iron casserole pan on the BBQ (if you’re using a hob instead place the pan on a medium-high heat) and add a good drizzle of oil to the pan. When it’s heated, fry the plant-based mince for 8-10 mins and set aside.
2. Finely chop the onions and fry for about 5 mins in the pan, or until soft. Meanwhile, finely chop the coriander, chili and garlic. Add it all to the pan to fry for a further 2 minutes, then add all the spices, turn up whatever tune you’re listening to, and mix everything together.
3. Add the cooked mince and give it a good stir. Then add the chopped tomatoes and a splash of soy sauce if you have it (to add umami) and stir. Cover the pan and allow to simmer for 20 mins – 1 hour (chili is best cooked low and slow), stirring occasionally and adding a bit more water if it’s drying out too quickly.
4. Whilst the chili is cooking, place the sausages on the grill and allow to cook for 8-10 mins, placing the BBQ lid down and turning occasionally to allow for a good char.
5. Place the cooked sausages in the buns. Season the chili to taste and cover the sausages. Sprinkle cheese and extra coriander or try a dollop of soured cream. Play Johnny Cash’s ‘Ring of Fire’ and enjoy your fine creation.
