Baked potato with vegetarian chilli topping

This is a wonderfully quick recipe I make regularly. It contains plenty of vegetables and pulses which are a great source of plant-based protein and soluble fibre. Why not double up the quantities and serve with wholegrain rice the next day? The chilli also freezes really well to have a healthy dinner available for a rainy day

  3. Add the pepper and courgette and fry for 3 minutes until they start to soften.
  4. Add the chickpeas, kidney beans, chopped tomatoes and tomato puree, some freshly ground black pepper and mixed herbs.
  5. Simmer gently for 15 minutes or until the chilli thickens to your taste.
  6. Take the baked potatoes from the oven and top each with 10g Flora ProActiv.
  7. Top with the chilli and serve.
