Halloumi Vegetarian Chilli with Rice

  • Family Friendly

Get your chilli on with this vego-friendly version, where protein-rich beans and halloumi stand in for meat. It's smoky and saucy and everything you and your meat-eating mates could want from a well-rounded midweek meal. A big squeeze of lime and a generous scattering of coriander kicks in some extra freshness. We've served ours with rice, but you could wrap the chilli in tortillas and bake to make quesadillas.
