Simple Vegetable Chilli

I have made this many many times and it is always lovely and so easy to make.  It freezes really well and only ever needs a touch more chilli powder once defrosted

It is a recipe I have adapted from the BBC Good Food website, see a theme here, and the original recipe can be found here.

Serves – 2 really hungry people
