Quinoa Black Bean & Corn Chili

Quinoa Black Bean & Corn Chili

30 mins

No matter what time of year it is, I always find comfort in a bowl of chilli: the warming spices, enjoyed curled up beside a roaring fire, or under a blanket on a cool summer’s evening, gazing up at the stars… Semi-romantic in description, granted, but this bowl of chilli undeniably has a hug-in-a-bowl quality about it. Feel free to add in more veggies (I just stuck with the basics to avoid any chopping, and it’s already loaded with a wonderful variety of plant-sourced goodness).
