      200g tinned pinto beans, drained and rinsed

● Vegetables:

      1 tablespoon olive oil

      1/2 medium onion, chopped

      2 cloves garlic, minced

      1 bell pepper (any colour), chopped

      1x 400g tin crushed tomatoes

● Spices:

      1 tablespoons chilli powder (or to taste)

      1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

      1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Method

Cook your jacket potatoes in the oven, wrapped in foil. From a fresh potato cook at 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6 for up to 1 hour and 20 minutes

While potatoes are cooking away, Sauté the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Add Spices: Stir in the chilli powder, smoked paprika, and oregano. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.

Add Tomatoes and Beans: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine. Add the black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans to the pot. If using, add the minced jalapeño for extra heat.

Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavours to meld. You can simmer for longer if you have time; just stir occasionally and add more vegetable broth if needed to maintain your desired consistency.

Season: After simmering, taste the chilli and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, or more spices if desired.

Serve:

Take your spuds out of the oven and carefully remove the foil, to reveal your hot and crispy jacket potato.

Using a sharp knife cut the potato in half without cutting through and use your knife to spread each half of the fluffy belly of the potato out - leaving plenty of room for the Nurishh!

Add a dollop of vegan butter, salt and pepper to taste and 90g of Nurishh plant based grated on each of the potatoes

TIP: to speed up the melting process of the cheese, pop the spuds under the grill for a couple of minutes for an extra melty texture

Now add a big spoonful of 3 bean chilli and garnish with your leftover Nurishh and enjoy!

Porridge Wars: UK Government Advertising Ban Targets Sugary Foods, Sparking Debate

New regulations due to take effect in October 2025 will restrict advertisements for food and drinks deemed “less healthy” in a bid to address rising childhood obesity rates in the UK. 

The legislation will apply to TV ads aired before 9 p.m. and paid online advertising.

The ban, announced by former Prime Minister Boris Johnson in 2021 and delayed due to economic concerns, includes a wide range of products such as sugary breakfast cereals, sweetened yoghurts, crumpets, scones, and certain types of porridge. 

Foods classified as "less healthy" will be determined through a scoring system that evaluates sugar, fat, and protein content. Products without added sugar, salt, or fat, such as plain porridge oats or unsweetened yoghurt, will not be affected.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting described the policy as a step toward shifting healthcare focus from treatment to prevention. The government believes the ban will prevent thousands of obesity cases annually and reduce UK children's calorie intake by 7.2 billion calories.

NHS data highlights the urgency of the issue, showing 9.2% of children in reception classes are obese, and over 23% experience tooth decay by age five due to high sugar consumption.

Critics, however, question the ban's scope and effectiveness. Paul Bristow, a former Conservative MP, expressed concern over the inclusion of everyday staples like porridge and crumpets. "The government needs to trust people to make their own decisions," he pointed out.

Some business owners echoed this sentiment. Prasanna Callaghan, who runs Crumpets Café near Buckingham Palace, called the policy "bonkers," arguing that categorising crumpets as junk food could harm small businesses.

On the other hand, proponents, including cook and restaurateur Thomasina Miers, welcomed the move as necessary but urged the government to take further steps. Miers pointed to the economic burden of diet-related diseases, citing research estimating these conditions cost the UK £268 billion annually.

The legislation has also sparked debate among parents. While some, like Maria McCracken from Kent, emphasise the importance of teaching children healthy eating habits at home, others question whether banning advertisements will effectively change behaviour.

The government maintains evidence supports a link between food advertising and increased calorie consumption in children. As implementation approaches, the ban is set to reshape the advertising landscape and reignite discussions about public health and personal responsibility.
