Description

This is a great recipe given to us by vegetarian friends long ago. We are not vegetarian ourselves, but this recipe is a regular for us. It uses soy mince, which in this recipe we prefer to meat. It is tasty & very easy to make & has the advantage of needing no ingredients requiring refrigeration, useful when spending extended periods in the bush. It also freezes well.

Ingredients

1- 2 Onions
1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
Chilli powder - how much you use depends upon your preference for heat.
1 can tomatoes
1 can Soy mince (often called ‘Casserole mince’ - available in most supermarkets)).
1 can Kidney beans
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon coriander powder ( or more - I prefer 2 or 3 teaspoons)
2 desert spoons sugar

Method

Step 1Chop & fry the onions with the cumin seeds & chilli.
Step 2Add the tomatoes, mince & beans
Step 3Stir in the paprika & coriander
Step 4Simmer for 10 minutes & then add sugar
Step 5Serve topped with grated cheese & sour cream (if available - ok without), on a bed of rice, or with bread
