Method
- Fry the onion and pepper in the oil, add the garlic, cumin, smoked paprika and chilli flakes, and after a minute the tomatoes.
- Tip in the rinsed lentils, add 250 ml of water and cook 20 minutes. The lentils stand in for mince here — they break down and thicken it.
- Add the drained beans and the sweetcorn and cook another 10 minutes.
- At the end stir in a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa. It doesn’t add a chocolate flavour, it just deepens the earthiness that the meat would otherwise be providing.
- Serve with rice. The chilli is markedly better on the second day — the spices join up overnight.
