Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between chili con carne and chili sin carne?

"Con carne" means with meat, "sin carne" means without. Instead of minced beef, plant-based mince goes into the pot, while the rest stays true to the classic.

Can I make the chili without beans?

Yes. Simply leave out the kidney beans and add more vegetables instead, such as peppers, sweetcorn or courgette. The texture stays nice and thick.

Which plant-based mince works best?

Soy mince (textured soy protein) or ready-made vegan mince from the chiller cabinet both work well. Fry it briefly so it picks up some roasted flavour.
