Cooked weight. About 50 g of dry rice becomes 130 g cooked.

Method

Cook the chopped onion and pepper in the oil for ten minutes until soft, then add the cumin, paprika, chipotle and purée and fry for two minutes.
Add the tomatoes and all the beans with a good pinch of salt. Bring to the boil and simmer uncovered for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick enough to hold a line drawn through it.
Taste for salt and heat. Serve over the rice with whatever you like on top.

Worth knowing

Makes four and keeps for four days. The sauce tightens overnight and is better for it.
Four tins of beans between four is what puts 23 g of protein in a chilli with no meat and no cheese. Yogurt or grated cheese on top is the usual extra and adds 30 to 80 kcal.
