MOTH HACKS: ESPRESSO MARTINI CHILI SIN CARNE
DEC 20 2023
A REAL WINTER WARMER
WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS RECIPE
MOTH: Espresso Martini - The secret to a fabulous chilli. Espresso Martini helps offset the acidity of the tomatoes and enhances the chilli’s overall flavour profile by giving it rich, earth and slightly sweet tones.
One Pan - This is a super simple, one pan dish. There’s minimal washing up needed and you can serve the dish on the table.
Vegetarian - This is not your classic chilli con carne, it’s a chilli sin (without) carne. As a meat eater, I genuinely have to say I prefer a veggie chilli to the classic. The textures, colours and flavours all come together so wonderfully.

Step 4: Add the bulk & espresso martini

Transfer the cooked sweet potato back into your pan along with the black beans. Stir and season to taste.
