Preparation
Firstly, to add smokiness to your chilli, toss 2 aubergines, cut into wedges in the oil and smoked paprika for kick, then griddle until well charred. Keep them warm.
Next, for the chilli, fry the chopped onion and cloves of sliced garlic for 10 minutes on a low heat, then add the cumin.
Add the red and green pepper, sliced green chillies, cubed butternut squash (skin on) and cook on low heat for 8 minutes.
Add the kidney beans, ground cumin, chopped tomatoes, chopped dark chocolate to add a lovely richness, and the strong vegetable stock. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 30 minutes.
Next, mash the avocados with the zest and juice of the limes and season.
To serve, put some cooked plain wholegrain rice in a deep bowl, add the chilli, top with aubergines, avocado mix and the some chopped coriander, jalapeños and sour cream (optional if vegan) to serve.
