Method

  • step 1

    Toss the paneer with 1/2 tsp of the paprika. Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan over a medium heat, then fry the paneer, turning until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate, then add the peppers, garlic and celery, remaining cumin, paprika and chilli flakes, and briefly stir over the heat. Tip in the tomatoes and beans along with their juice, the bouillon powder and oregano. Use a wooden spoon to break up the tomatoes if needed, then leave to simmer, uncovered, for 20 mins until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, cook the quinoa following pack instructions, drain and set aside for 10 mins. Stir the coriander and paneer into the beans, and sprinkle over extra coriander just before serving. Serve half the chilli with half the quinoa. The remainder will keep chilled for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave or on the hob, covered, over a medium heat with a drop of water to loosen until piping hot.

Chilli con carne, the name means chilli with meat. This is not chilli con carne.

Exactly what. I thought

This went down really well! Substituted chicken for paneer, added a little Triguisar, a seasoning mix for Latin dishes, and added avocado and lime juice to serve. Served over millet instead of quinoa....YUM!

I've just made this using 225g paneer 1 tin tomatoes 1 tin red beans in a chilli sauce 11\2 celery and an onion (a chilli without onion?) And a pinch of sugar and half amounts of the spices tastes good and plenty for 4. Not the best recipe when would chilli be optional in a chilli and instructions…

question

The recipe lists 1tbsp of paprika in the ingredients list but I can only see 1/2 tsp used in the method. Am I missing something? This is the same in the magazine version.

Hi, thanks for spotting this. It should read 'add the remaining paprika, cumin and chilli flakes' after adding the peppers, garlic and celery. We'll correct the recipe to include this. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.
