Vegan Chilli Con Carne – Ostomy-Friendly Recipe

Often a family favourite recipe, we’ve made a tasty vegan option. As this dish serves 6, it can be handy for leftovers as lunches and dinners during the week. It’s packed with protein from the beans and soy mince to help keep your skin healthy.

Once served, you can top it with some vegan Greek-style yoghurt – the creaminess makes it even more delicious. Choose calcium-fortified yoghurts, which can help maintain strong bones. Swap ingredients to make this your own, like swede or turnip, instead of celeriac.
