The tastiest Vegan Chilli – Bean Free
The tastiest Vegan Bean Free Chilli. I love chilli and my tummy loves chilli but sometimes I need a bean free version. Plus, a lot of you guys have asked for more bean free vegan recipes! The mushrooms in this recipe are a pure double for beef, you could fool any meat lover! This chilli is full of delish veggies and rich in flavour with the added cacao. I love prepping this dish for my week day meals as it gets better and better each day. I love it served with brown rice, lentil pasta or mashed sweet potato.
