Vegan Bean Chilli Fries Recipes

Steps:

• Cook the French fries following pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the onion for 10 mins. Prepare the guacamole by mashing the avocado and mixing in the lime juice, red onion and chopped tomato.
• Add the garlic, chipotle paste, ground cumin and ground coriander to the onions, which should be softened and translucent. Fry for 1 min, then tip in the mixed beans and the chopped tomatoes. Simmer for 10 mins, then stir in most of the coriander and season. Tip the fries into a bowl and top with the bean chilli, guacamole, crème fraîche and crispy fried onions. Scatter over the remaining coriander and serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Wash potatoes and remove any discoloration or eyes. Do not peel. Slice evenly into shoestring-style fries or use a French fry cutter. Put the fries into a large bowl and rinse with cool water until water runs clear. Cover fries with 1 inch of water. Cover and let stand for 30 minutes.
• Place TVP in a bowl. Cover with hot vegetable broth.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery; cook and stir until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic. Add the TVP and broth. Stir in tomatoes, drained beans, molasses, chili powder, oregano, cumin, paprika, smoked salt, and pepper. Simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes.
• Preheat an air fryer to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C). Drain the soaked potatoes and dry with a clean towel. Place them back in the bowl, drizzle in 1 tablespoon olive oil, and toss to coat.
• Cook in the air fryer, untouched, for 18 minutes. Shake and cook for 6 minutes. Shake again and cook for another 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine vegan Cheddar, soy milk, and vegan butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 360W for 30 seconds. Stir and check the consistency. Add more soy milk and microwave for another 30 seconds, if needed. Stir briskly to create a creamy sauce.
