Cook the Mince

  • Mix in the black beans, kidney beans, and diced red peppers. Stir in the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce, ensuring everything is evenly distributed. Let the chilli simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Cook the rice according to packet instructions. Place the rice in a bowl or plate, top with a portion of the chilli, and add the fat-free yoghurt. Garnish with chopped coriander for a fresh finish.
  • Serve and enjoy!
