A chilli is by nature a hearty sort of dish, and this kidney bean version certainly lives up to that reputation. Filled with fibre and protein, it's not only hearty but healthy too!

- Pour 300ml cold salted water (double for 4p) into a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Stir in the rice and bring to the boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat to medium and cover with the lid.
- Cook for 10 mins then remove from the heat.
- Keep covered for 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
- Meanwhile, drain and rinse the kidney beans in a sieve.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
- Halve the chilli and discard the core and seeds. Finely chop.
- Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
- Place a large pot over high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the onion, garlic and pepper until softened, stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins.
- Lower the heat to medium-high, add the Mexican spice mix and fry until fragrant, 1 min.
- Add the drained beans, stock powder, chopped tomatoes and chilli (use less if you don't like spice) to the pot.
- Stir to combine.
- Cover and simmer for 8-10 mins.
- Stir every so often to prevent sticking.
- Stir half the creme fraiche into the pot and allow to warm through, 1-2 mins.
- Add a splash of water if a looser consistency is desired.
- Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
- Pick the coriander leaves (discard the stalks).
- Divide the kidney bean chilli between bowls.
- Fluff up the rice with a fork and serve alongside.
- Garnish with a sprinkling of coriander leaves.
- Top everything off with a dollop of remaining creme fraiche.
