Dark Magic Chilli: 

Comfort food is what it’s all about, especially during this cold and well … less interesting January. Switching up the meat for a meat free alternative works really well in a Chilli, and adding beer can never be a bad thing, can it?

 

Serves: 4/5

What you need – 

  • 2 chopped onions
  • 2 chopped peppers
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons of tomato puree

  • Chilli spice mix
  • Handful of beans of choice
  • Meat alternative of choice
  • Half a can of Dark Arts stout

Method – 

  1. Finely chop the onions, peppers and garlic and begin to soften in a pot with oil
  2. Once the onions are golden, add in the tomato puree and chopped tomatoes
  3. Once stirred together, add in your chilli spice mix
  4. Next add your meat alternative, this could be a range of beans, or meat-free mince replacement for example
  5. Add half a can of Magic Rock Dark Arts, or a dark beer, stout is preferable here
  6. Stir in your beans 15 minutes before serving
  7. Serve over rice
  8. Voila! Enjoy

I know what you might be thinking, beer hummus?! But we promise, you won’t be disappointed here. The flavours in the beer adds to the citrus zing that already comes through in the taste thanks to the lemon juice.

  2. Add the chopped garlic
  3. Add the tahini
  4. Add the salt
  5. Add your lemon
  6. Blend for a few seconds
