Express Chili Sin Carne

Last week, I wrote about the new plant based minced meat from GreenWay. On my Instagram story you could see the packaging transforming easily and quickly into a delicious Chili Sin Carne the moment I tried the product. At the beginning, it was supposed to be a kind of tomato sauce for my spaghetti. But as I didn’t had the right spices at home, I went for a Chili Sin Carne with the leftover spices from a previous one.

This is how the small pack of plant-based minced meat became a tasty Chili Sin Carne. In about 15 minutes, everything was ready. For this recipe I used quinoa instead of rice to change a bit from the usual chili.

Instructions

 

• Chop the onion in fine pieces.
• Cook the onions, garlic and pepper in some tomato pulp on medium heat.
• Add the plant based minced meat once a delicious smell will come from the pan.
• Let it cook for 5 minutes and steer well so it doesn’t stick and burn.
• Add the spices and the leftover of the tomato pulp.
• Simmer for 5 minutes.
• In meanwhile, I cooked the quinoa in twice the size of water (f.e. 1 cup of quinoa in 2 cups of water). When there is no liquid substance with the quinoa, it’s ready to eat it.
