Vegetarian chilli has always been a favourite in our house but when I started making it with chocolate it brought it to another level! You will love this recipe for vegetarian chilli with chocolate as the chocolate adds a richness to the sauce and believe me you will never cook chilli without chocolate again!
It is best to prepare all the vegetables first and then add them as required to avoid a mushy chilli. I top it with fresh coriander, cheese and sour cream with a homemade pitta on the side. Friday nights will never be the same again.
