We trialled out this magical dish at a wedding recently and the response was phenomenal! Who knew that 3 kinds of beans, combined with the right spices and vegetables and simple cooking method could make for such a crowd-pleasing dish. Loaded with protein, the secret ingredients (not to be left out), is the celebrated cacao powder (for flavour) and chia seeds (which helps the dish thicken). Like all good chillis, it tastes even better the next day and best served with cauliflower rice.
It also makes for a great salad at a BBQ or a hearty burrito filling.
