2 tsp rapeseed oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 red pepper, cut into chunks
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tsp mild chilli powder
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp vegetable bouillon powder
1 small avocado
handful chopped coriander

Steps:

Heat the oil in a medium pan, add the onion (reserving 1 tbsp to make the guacamole later) and pepper and fry, stirring frequently, for 10 mins. Stir in the garlic and spices, then tip in the tomatoes and beans with their liquid, half a can of water and the bouillon powder. Simmer, covered, for 15 mins.
