Vegetarian Recipe of the Day

I've decided to begin periodically posting yummy vegetarian recipes. Today's recipe is from the late Linda McCartney. I got it from The Vegetarian Society website. Enjoy!

The best chilli you'll get this side of Tijuana, according to Linda McCartney. Chilli Non Carne was very popular with the road crew on Paul's 1989-90 World Tour - rock and roll's first vegetarian world tour.
