INSTRUCTIONS
1. Bring 500ml water to the boil with 2 tbsp yeast extract. Pour over the dried soy mince, and soak for 10 minutes. Then drain, and press out the liquid thoroughly.
2. Heat the oil in a large pan. Pour in the soy mince, and fry for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. In the meantime, prepare the fresh vegetables, and drain the canned vegetables.
4. Add the onions and garlic to the saucepan, and fry them with everything else for 3 minutes. Add the tomato puree, bell pepper, chili peppers and spices too.
5. After another 5 minutes, pour in the vegetable stock. Now add all remaining ingredients – including the chocolate for a sophisticated extra note – stir well, cover and simmer over a low heat for around 60 minutes. Stir occasionally.
6. Serve the chili sin carne in a bowl, garnish and serve with the side dishes. Enjoy!
