I'm doing a vege chilli, usually it's just onion, chilli, a little sugar, tomatoes, salt, pepper. What do you do that makes it 'special'?
Thanks!

Damn, I can't get used to this vegetarian diet! Buggered if I can excite myself about chilli without ground beef!

Google Bryanna Clark Grogan's veggie chilli recipe. Her site is called Notes from the Vegan Feast Kitchen - am sure she won a chilli competition with her recipe - up against the meat recipes. Her recipes are generally excellent.

Cheers all. I didn't get back here before doing it, added 2 large onions, 2 cans of pasta sauce, paprika & coriander, some golden syrup, a whole garlic, birds eyes (no jalapenos i the fridge) & a good amount of supersweet corn.
Served on nachos with romano cheese & sour cream. Quite good!
Thanks for the help, especially Frances' Bryanna tip. Gotta try the 'shrooms some time too!

beans - baked beans and add your own chilli is the cheapest way. Or watties chilli beans.
When I make it, I whizz up a tin in the food processor - helps bind the tomatoes and have a second tin which are still "beans'

Get some largish mushrooms and twist out the stems. . (save to chop up in green salads) add a pinch of onion salt and a drizzle of olive oil and place in the oven on a slide under the grill. . serve on the side of your beans on rice . .

I brown the mince to seal in the juices, and then cook it in... . Guinness beer! Gives it a rich flavour and makes it unique. I add ground chili, cumin, coriander (fresh not in a packet), onions, red peppers, kidney beans, tomato paste, fresh chopped tomatoes, salt and then fresh chopped coriander at the end.

Also, the best accompaniment is fresh baked cornbread!

But I still love the idea of Guiness with mince Coyote! I'm not a vege, but my flatmate is, so I'm doing very little meat these days. I will be using that recipe at some stage tho!
Thanks fisher, that's great. I use my own beans so no cans needed. I also like the idea of duckies mashed beans - I will now need to study refried beans, see if that's how they do it.
