    I've got today off, and just put the slow cooker on - the house already smells absolutely gorgeous. I'll post pictures tonight :)

    I'll be picking up some lentils and getting in on the action here. If it's half as good as ye're saying it must be fantastic.

    I know they have dried black turtle beans in my local Tesco, but that adds extra faff to the dish. I wonder would Whole foods places have them.

    I got them in Eurasia off the Fonthill Road. They're also called Black turtle beans. They were in tins.

    My dad's favourite meal is chilli and he's just been put on a no red meat diet, so I think I'll try making this for him over the weekend. How long do people think it would need to go in a slow cooker for?

    It only takes an hour to make the regular way once the veg are fired off.

    I try to support my local spice shop bit buying the canned stuff off them too. Chickpeas, kidney beans, black beans. Great value buying rice as well.

    I did it in the slow cooker, with dried beans and lentils (I had no tins, and always have the cupboard full of beans and lentils, they're one of our staple foods), it took about 4 hours for the beans to be fully cooked.

    It was really, really delicious. But for the next one, I'll be adding some chopped bell peppers - somehow, it's not a chili for me without them.

    I know, slow cooker is mainly for convenience so I don't need to worry about pottering about while the hob is on.

    Thanks shenshen, four hours ballpark is good to know :)

    Do you cook them from dry in the slow cooker? Do you need to soak them first?

    I usually put in some thickly sliced baby sweetcorn too. Adds a bit of crunch :)

    I get them in my local Dunnes. The brand is Epicure. The tins have a greenish label.

    I cooked them from dry. I find particularly black turtle beans somehow "drain" colour while soaking, and grey beans just aren't nice-looking,

    Tried Chilli using Quorn recently, must say it was a pleasant surprise as I was fairly sceptical about using it.

    Other times I've just bulked up on pulses, corn and barley.

    I call it chilli sin carne, but that sounds a bit odd. (Lots of holidays in lanzo when i was younger, don't get the aqua con gas and the aqua sin gas mixed up)!

    But if you make that mistake once, you'll never make it again!

    Before ever seeing this thread I had decided to make a vegie chilli this week. This was due to 4 days of poor quality cooked breakfasts and really unhealthy meals at Alltech crap food and great drink festival. I needed vegetables and healthy stuff!

    Mine had: onion, carrot, celery, red and yellow peppers, courgette, butternut squash, mushrooms, smoked Mexican chillies (mild, don't know what type), tinned tomatoes, mung beans, pinto beans, green lentils, red wine, veg stock pots, cumin, allspice, oregano, chilli flakes and spinach to serve. Been eating it all week.
