FABLE CHILI CON CARNE

There's a certain kind of chili that earns its place at the table…deeply umami and rich enough to warrant silence between bites

Serves 4

Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 35 mins

INGREDIENTS

2 × 180g packs of Fable

1 tbsp olive oil

1 brown onion, diced

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 red pepper (capsicum), diced

2 tsp ground cumin

2 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp dried oregano

400g can crushed tomatoes

400g can black beans, drained and rinsed

400g can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

250ml vegetable stock

Salt and black pepper, to taste

METHOD

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add Fable and cook for 5 mins or until nicely browned. Place cooked Fable in a bowl and set aside. Now add onion to the pot and cook for 3–4 mins until softened. Add garlic and capsicum and cook for a further 2 mins.

Add the cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and oregano. Stir to coat. Add browned Fable and cook for another minute, letting the pieces soak up the spices and take on a little color.

Pour in the crushed tomatoes, both cans of beans, and stock. Stir to combine and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered for 20–25 mins, until thickened and fragrant.

Season generously with salt and pepper. Pile into bowls and load up with your toppings.
