I've got a great Nick Nairn recipe at home for massive stuffed mushrooms on toast that makes a really filling starter or a main course depending on portion size. Just swap the bacon in the recipe for chopped peppers and it's good to go. Could post it tonight.

Stuffed peppers are another winner.

Otherwise you could do a paella and have the main rice/tomatoes/onion business cooking away in a pan and cook the meaty bits seperately then serve one veggy and one with the meaty topping.

Stir fry, cook it in individual batches (let everyone have a go if you want). Just make sure all the ingerdients are ready before you start and do some with meat and some with prawns or whatever.

Ooh I have a phobia of eating mushrooms...stuffed tomato's sound good though....I could maybe make a mixed bean chilli or soemthing along those lines

It's a meal for a couple fo friends coming round for the evening. Fed up making the same old stuff (lasgane, spag bol pasta etc)

This recipe is the king of Veggie chilli in my eyes. I've made it loads. One tip I'd maybe give though is to use slightly less stock than it suggests otherwise it can be a bit runny. Other than that it's amazing, cheap and makes loads.

Three-Bean Chilli

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
1 medium yellow skinned onion, chopped
1 large red pepper, seeded and chopped
1 large green pepper, seeded and chopped
1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
230ml beer or vegetable stock/broth
1 (32- ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (14-ounce) can black beans
1 (14-ounce) can dark red kidney beans
1 can of refried beans
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon Tabasco
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 can of refried beans


Directions
Over moderate heat, add oil to a deep pot and combine onion, peppers, and garlic. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes to soften vegetables. Deglaze pan with beer or broth, add tomatoes, black beans, red kidney beans, and stirring to combine.

Season chili with cumin, chili powder, hot sauce, and salt. Thicken chili by stirring in refried beans. Simmer over low heat about 5 to 10 minutes longer. Serve with rice and top with soured cream.

[Lucky Rathen]

Yeah, technically that's four bean chilli.

It sounds wonderful, I'm going to give it a try on Sunday, thanks!

Yeah I noticed that, might try it anyway tho for myself

Chili Recipe sounds great. I might give it a go, as I find pre-made chilli to be god-awfully bland. Usually just mincemeat with a couple of kidney beans.
