Slow Cooker Bean & Quinoa Chilli

  Prep Time: 10mins
  Cook Time: 2 to 5hrs
  Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 Small red onion, diced
  • ½ bunch fresh coriander, stems and leaves divided (see instructions)
  • 1 can corn kernels
  • 2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cans red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes
  • 140g can tomato paste
  • 2 ¾ cup vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp chilli powder (less if you prefer less kick in your chilli)
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, omit if you are sensitive to heat)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika or ½ tsp liquid smoke
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
  • Avocado, for serving (optional)
  • Nutritional Yeast, for serving (optional)

Directions

Step 1

First, wash and prep your produce. Dice the onion into small pieces, and cut off the majority of the coriander stems from their leaves. Chop the stems into small pieces - these are packed with flavor, and we'll be adding them to the Chilli. Reserve the leaves to use as a garnish at the end.

Step 2

Add the onion, coriander stems, and all of the remaining ingredients (except for the coriander leaves) to slow cooker. Stir well, until the tomato paste has completely dissolved into the liquid mixture.

Step 3

Place lid on the cooker, and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or high for 2-3.

Step 4

Add extra salt to taste at end, if desired. Garnish with the chopped coriander leaves, and any other toppings that suit your fancy. We suggest guacamole and corn chips!
