While black beans, white beans and yellow corn are a hearty foundation for this protein-rich vegetarian chilli, any bean will do. You can also substitute an equal amount of canned (or cooked from dry) lentils for the beans used in this recipe. If you use lentils, add them with the corn near the end of cooking; simmer just for the final 10 minutes.

This wholesome and tasty meal was so nicely balanced for flavor and texture. Loved by husband and daughter as well as myself. We served it on a bed of rice, but would probably also go well on corn chips, or as my daughter did, on a warm wrap with lettuce or spinach leaves. A huge hit in my home and new favourite recipe! - 01 Jun 2015
Loved it. Great vegetarian chilli. Next time I'll see if I can just make the flavour a little more rounded and heavy. Perhaps a different soy sauce? - 08 Jul 2009
