Method
1. Firstly, add the carrot, mushrooms, courgette, onion, and garlic into your food processor, and blitz until fine.
2. Then, add the 2 tbsp oil into a large pan, and place onto a medium heat. Pour in the blitzed vegetables, and fry for about 3 minutes or so. Next, add in the tomatoes, tomato puree, kidney beans and black beans. Stir together. Lastly, add in the paprika, smoked paprika, chipotle paste, vegetable stock, yeast extract, coriander and some salt and pepper to taste. Stir all of the ingredients together and leave to cook, stirring occasionally, for a further 15-20 minutes to heat through and allow the flavours to develop.
3. When the chilli has cooked, remove from the heat and serve with what else you like.
