Supermarket Chilli
This is super-fast, for those nights when opening a tin or packet is just all there’s time and energy for! However, it doesn’t need to be unhealthy. Pile on the salad and other healthy goodies for a well-balanced meal.
We’ve showcased a fresh version and tinned versions. If choosing a ‘ping meal’ version – ie chilled or frozen – check there’s no added dairy such as cheese or milk by-products. If using tins, these are cheap and useful cupboard basic and are usually vegan. Asda, Morrison’s Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Waitrose et al ALL sell at least one type of this popular dish.
Health food shops also stock a version of it, eg Amy’s Kitchen – which has the added advantage of a mild, medium and spicy range!
