This week’s recipe heralds something we’ve been waiting for with bated breath – the return to pumpkin season! We absolutely loved cooking all of our pumpkin recipes last year and this one couldn’t come quickly enough.
We decided to start out with a traditional winter warmer recipe, given a little twist to bring in that pumpkin flavour. We made it vegetarian too of course! This veggie pumpkin chili is fun to make and so easy, and it tastes great. I don’t like my chili to be watery at all so this has quite a thick texture – if you prefer it a bit thinner, you can add water or vegetable stock.
Stay tuned for the Vine and, underneath, the recipe!

Notes
- This is a really simple recipe and you can play with it as much as you like. It's also very easy to reheat so make as much as you like and freeze or refrigerate it for later! We topped ours with a sprinkling of feta but reckon cottage cheese or sour cream would go even better.

Can you believe I’bve never tried pumpkin, I only just carved my first one this year!! This looks great though and what a great twist, I have never seen or heard of a pumpkin chilli!
This dish looks great! It’s perfect for the colder months.
