Super Fly Chilli Fries

Ingredients
Fries
- 8 large potatoes (we use maris piper)
- Very hot oil (peanut oil is great for flavour if you can get it)
Chilli
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 red onions (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 red peppers (chopped)
- 2 red chillies (finely chopped)
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tbsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup seitan steak strips
- 1/2 cup red wine (make sure it’s vegan)
- 2 tbsp tomato puree
- 1 tin mixed beans (drained)
- 1 tin chopped tomatoes
- 3 sweet potatoes (peeled, cubed & roasted for 30 mins)
- 2 squares dark chocolate
To serve
- Guacamole
- Coconut Yoghurt
- Cilantro
Method
-
1.
Spiralize your potatoes, & then pat them down with kitchen roll to take off the excess moisture (this is an important stage - if you don’t pat down the potatoes they moisture will make the oil bubble aggressively - which can be very dangerous).
-
2.
Fry the curly fries in batches until they’re golden brown then set them down on some kitchen roll so the excess oil soaks off.
-
3.
Heat the olive oil in a pan, add the onions & cook them until they’re translucent.
-
4.
Add the garlic & cook that until you’ve released the aroma.
-
5.
Add the red peppers, red chillies & stir them round until they begin to soften.
-
6.
Add the spices & stir them in so everything is well covered & the colour from the spices has soaked in too.
-
7.
Add the cherry tomatoes, seitan steak strips & stir them round until they’re warm.
-
8.
Add the red wine (if you don’t want to use red wine, use tomato sauce) & stir it in so the liquids have all mixed together.
-
9.
Add the tomato puree, beans, chopped tomatoes, sweet potato cubes & mix them all together so your chilli looks like it’s really taking shape.
-
10.
Add the dark chocolate & stir that in to the chilli until it’s melted - this might seem like an odd ingredient to use but trust us, it makes a massive difference to the richness of the flavour.
-
11.
Turn the heat down, put the lid on your pan & let the chilli simmer - this will let all the flavours combine nicely & soften all the vegetables (be sure to stir the chilli every couple of minutes so it doesn’t burn on to the bottom of your pan)
-
12.
Serve immediately on top of the curly fries & top with guac, coconut yoghurt & cilantro (unless cilantro tastes like dishwater to you)
