Instructions
- First things first, get your jacket potatoes in the oven, piercing the skins to avoid them exploding, and bake for at least one hour on around 180 degrees.
- Whilst the jackets are cooking, throw diced onion, cumin seeds, diced garlic, chilli, cayenne pepper, oregano and black pepper in a pan with olive oil or a little water.
- When the jackets have been in for about 30-40 minutes, fry off these pan ingredients on a low heat, adding in tomato paste after a couple of minutes and stirring this into your other seasonings.
- Then, add chopped tomatoes, pumpkin and any other vegetables you desire along with drained black beans.
- Leave the pan on a low to mid heat until your jacket potatoes are ready.
- Pour your delicious Black Bean and Pumpkin Chilli over your jacket potato and serve.
