Mixed bean and butternut chilli
Easy, rich and hearty vegetarian chilli which is a firm favourite with the whole family. We like it best with rice and grated cheese, but it's also good in tortilla wraps or with a jacket potato. Makes a large batch so it's good for a crowd, or freeze half for later.

As I mentioned in 'tips', please use a vegetarian worcestershire sauce if serving to vegetarians. Biona Organic make a nice one. - 11 Sep 2012
I noticed the Vegetarian tag for this recipe, but I have to say - Worcestershire sauce is NOT vegetarian, due to production methods used. - 07 Feb 2012
