How To Make Slow Cooker Vegan Chilli Non Carne

1. Fry the sausages: Start by frying the vegan sausages in a frying pan over medium heat for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to your slow cooker.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients: Add the chopped onions, tomatoes, red peppers, cumin, grated carrot, chopped celery, chilli powder, mixed beans, and grated garlic to the slow cooker. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, and stir everything together.
3. Cook: Cook on low for 6 hours until everything is tender and the flavors are well combined.
4. Serve: Serve the chilli over rice, and top with fresh coriander leaves and chopped green chilli. 

Recipe Tips

• Use firm vegan sausages: Choose sausages that hold their shape well during cooking, so they don’t break apart in the chilli.
• Grate the carrot finely: This helps the carrot cook evenly and blend into the chilli, adding a nice texture.
• Season carefully: Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and extra chilli powder to suit your preference.
• Stir halfway through cooking: Give the ingredients a quick stir around 3 hours into cooking to ensure even flavor distribution.
• Don’t overcook the rice: Cook your rice separately, and make sure it’s fluffy so it complements the chilli rather than becoming too soft.
