Method

7 steps
  1. Step 1

    Combine the garlic granules, onion granules, smoked paprika, cumin powder, dried oregano, dried chilli flakes and salt. Mix and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In a deep-sided frying pan or saucepan, heat up the olive oil and lightly soften the onions for around 7-10 mins on medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute then add the red and green peppers and the sweet potato. Stir well, add a splash of water and cover with a lid for 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Remove the lid, increase the heat slightly and cook until any remaining liquid has evaporated.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in the plant-based mince and fry for 2 mins then sprinkle in the chilli seasoning, tomato puree, chipotle chilli paste, chopped tomatoes, worcestershire sauce and around 75-100ml water. Mix well and reduce heat to simmer, cook for 10-15 mins until the tomatoes have reduced and you have a thick sauce.

  5. Step 5

    Meanwhile, cut the top of the white boule, scoop out the inside of the bread and place in a food processor. Blitz to make breadcrumbs, then mix in some grated cheddar and roughly chopped parsley together ready to sprinkle on top of the finished dish.

  6. Step 6

    Back to the chilli con carne: check the seasoning, add the sweetcorn and kidney beans, cook for another few mins, then sprinkle in the coriander and stir. Transfer to the hollowed out boule.

  7. Step 7

    Top with the cheese and breadcrumb mix, pop under the grill for a few minutes until golden brown and the cheese has melted. Serve with toppings such as diced avocado, sour cream and diced tomatoes, if you like.
