- Add your tinned tomatoes to the pan, along with your salt and stir. Cook for a further 5 minutes.
- Reduce to a low heat and after draining the liquid from your tins, stir in your kidney beans and green lentils to your pan.
- Add your chocolate cubes and stir in. Leave to simmer for around 15 minutes, in this time the sauce should have thickened.
- Taste your chilli and if required, add more seasoning.
- Garnish with a spoonful of sour cream, a spoonful of guacamole and a sprinkle of chopped coriander.
