Winter weather comforts

Veggie mince chili with brown basmati rice topped with tomatoes, coriander and feta

When it gets cold outside we all wanna be warm on the inside! This is delicious and hits the spot when the winter weather starts to return.

Chili:
Quorn mince meat - a great way to create popular and favourite dishes while being a vegetarian
A tin of red kidney beans
A tin of Heinz tomato soup
Garlic
Onion
Smoked Chipotle
Chilli flakes

In some light oil, fry the garlic and onion, add in the kidney beans and Quorn mince - once the mix is heated through and combined well, season with salt/pepper, Smoked Chiptole and Chilli flakes. Mix in  the Heinz soup slowly (don't add to much as it can get runny) and allow to simmer for 10-15 mins.
Top with chopped plum tomatoes, chopped coriander and crumbled feta. Delicious!

Simple Huevos Rancheros

To further glorify my love of Heinz tomato soup - I found another amazing way to get creative with the famous brand.

My sister-in-law makes a much more amazing version of this in New York City, and wanting to recreate her memorable Sunday brunches in London, I invented my own Heuvos Rancheros recipe.

In a shallow pan heat 1 can of Heinz tomato soup, when it begins to slowly bubble - carefully
add 2 eggs (these will slowly poach in the heated soup base)
Once the eggs are covered in the soup base, sprinkle in some chilli flakes and smoked chipotle.
Cover with a lid and allow to simmer for a few minutes, but not too long as the yolks are best runny!
The soup will begin to caramelise around the edges, adding more flavour.
Once ready to tuck into - add crumbled feta cheese and lots of cut coriander (this makes the dish, a must!) I usually serve this dish with pumpkin seed and oat Ryvitas, handy for scooping up the extra sauce when the eggs are gone.

Starbucks soya latte optional.
