Derek Sarno says, "Looking for a big bowl of comfort food without the meat? This chilli is it – a crowd-pleaser and a great way to use storecupboard ingredients. Just like any good one-pot, everything gets thrown in together. Don't be afraid to try something other than kidney beans – I've added chickpeas for texture. But what really brings it to life is mixing in some roasted or steamed veg right before it's time to eat – it adds a whole new level of wicked deliciousness." See method

Method

- Put all the ingredients, except the potatoes and kale, in a large, heavy saucepan; cover and set over a low heat. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 1½ hrs, stirring occasionally.
- After 40 mins, preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the potatoes in a large pan of water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 mins, then drain well. Transfer to a baking tray and toss with the oil; season. Bake for 35-40 mins.
- About 10 mins before the chilli is ready, steam the kale for 10 mins or until just tender. Add to the chilli.
- Serve with the chunky chips and top with the optional ingredients, if you like.
