Jamie Oliver’s veggie chilli is a quick-cooked vegetarian chilli made with beans, vegetables, and spices, simmered briefly to create a rich, hearty dish inspired by classic chilli flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 1 onion (chopped)

    • 2 cloves garlic (minced)

    • 1 red bell pepper (chopped)

    • 1 carrot (diced or grated for faster cooking)

    • 1 can (400g) kidney beans (drained)

    • 1 can (400g) chopped tomatoes

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

    • 1–2 teaspoons chili powder or paprika

    • 1 teaspoon cumin

    • Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Optional additions:

    • Sweet corn or black beans

    • Fresh coriander

    • Lime juice

    • Chili flakes for extra heat

Instructions

Step 1: Heat the Pan and Start the Base

Place a large pan on medium-high heat and add olive oil. Add chopped onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened. Starting with high heat helps build flavor quickly, which is essential in a fast recipe.

Step 2: Add Vegetables for Texture

Add garlic, bell pepper, and carrot. Cook for another 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently. Cutting vegetables smaller or grating them helps them cook faster and blend into the sauce.

Step 3: Add Spices

Sprinkle in chili powder and cumin. Stir and cook for about 1 minute to release the aroma of the spices. This step is crucial for depth of flavor.

Step 4: Add Beans and Tomatoes

Add kidney beans and chopped tomatoes. Stir well to combine everything evenly.

Step 5: Simmer Quickly

Let the chilli simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This short simmer allows flavors to come together while keeping the vegetables slightly textured.

Step 6: Adjust Seasoning

Taste and add salt, pepper, or extra spices as needed. A squeeze of lime juice can brighten the dish.

Step 7: Finish and Garnish

Add fresh coriander and optional toppings just before serving to enhance freshness and presentation.
