When you simmer hearty chickpeas and beef with subtly sweet veggies, garlicky tomatoes and our chermoula spice blend, the result is pretty magical. Serve with quick pickled chilli for a touch of heat, a coconut yoghurt for creaminess, and of course oven baked tortilla chips for crunch, and scooping! Unfortunately, this week’s chickpeas were in short supply, so we’ve replaced them with cannellini beans. Don’t worry, the recipe will be just as delicious, just be sure to follow your recipe card!

Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. • Finely chop carrot and celery. • Thinly slice long chilli (if using). • Drain and rinse cannellini beans. • In a small bowl, combine the white wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. Add chilli and set aside.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook beef mince, carrot and celery, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 5-6 minutes. • Add cannellini beans, chermoula spice blend and garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 2 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add diced tomatoes with garlic & onion, the plant-based butter and the brown sugar. Simmer until slightly thickened, 4-5 minutes.
• While the cannellini beans are simmering, slice mini flourtortillas into quarters. • Divide tortillas between two lined oven trays (don't worry if they overlap). Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Bake until lightly golden and crispy, 8-10 minutes. • Meanwhile, stir baby spinach leaves through the slightly thickened cannellini beans. • Lightly mash cannellini beans. Remove from heat. Season to taste.
• Drain pickled chilli. • Divide Middle Eastern-style canellini beans between bowls. • Top with pickled chilli and a dollop of plant-based coconut yoghurt. Tear over parsley. • Serve with tortilla chips. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The chermoula spice blend and garlicky tomatoes deliver a warm, hearty flavour that most customers loved. Some found the seasoning a little mild and boosted it with extra tomato paste.
- Ease of prep: Most found this a quick and straightforward cook, with clear steps that are easy to follow.
- Suggestions: Adding onion or a splash of extra tomato paste can deepen the flavour if you prefer a richer result. One customer swapped in chickpeas for the cannellini beans with great success.
- Portions: Several customers felt the serving size was on the smaller side, particularly for families or hungrier appetites.
- Spice level: The pickled chilli adds a noticeable heat, so those cooking for children may want to reduce or skip it.
