  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 6–8 minutes until softened and lightly golden.

  2. Stir in the garlic and chilli and cook for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring, until browned and their moisture has cooked away.

  3. Add the cumin and smoked paprika and stir for 30 seconds to coat the mushrooms. Mix in the tomato purée.

  4. Pour in the chopped tomatoes and vegetable stock, then add the kidney beans. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick.

  5. Taste and season with salt, pepper and the lime juice. Scatter over the coriander and serve with rice, baked potatoes or warm tortillas.
