with peas and rice
As the name suggests, this is a meat-free take on the type of beef mince chillis typically favoured in firehouses across the US. Sitting on a bed of fluffy rice, this dish features tofu and an expert of spices.

- Pour 300ml cold salted water (double for 4p) into a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Stir in the rice then bring to the boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat to medium and cover with the lid.
- Cook for 10 mins, then remove the pot from the heat.
- Keep covered for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
- Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Drain and rinse the beans in a sieve.
- Trim and thinly slice the scallion.
- Drain the tofu, pat dry with kitchen paper and coarsely grate.
- Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- When hot, fry the tofu with garlic, cumin, Mexican spice and ½ tsp salt (double for 4p), stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins.
- Pour in the chopped tomatoes, beans, stock, ½ tsp sugar (double for 4p) and chilli flakes (use less if you don't like spice).
- Cover and cook for 6-8 mins.
- Once cooked, add the peas and chipotle paste and cook, stirring, until the peas have warmed through, 1 min.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Loosen the stew with a splash of water if you feel it's too thick.
- Fluff up the rice with a fork and share between bowls.
- Top the rice with spoonfuls of tofu and bean chilli.
- Finish with a sprinkling of scallion.
