CHILLI BEATBOX WRAP

This more of a serving suggestion, using the five-alarm chilli recipe, for a way to use up your chilli but still keep it interesting!

Suitable for vegans.

You need:

Step 1

Add some salad!


Step 2

Add the chilli.


Step 3

Add guacamole, hummus, and whatever else you want! Maybe a few diced tomatoes.


That's a wrap. I got immense satisfaction out of using that pun haha. But seriously, I can't roll wraps for shit, so here's a video showing you how:

FIVE-ALARM CHILLI

Ohhh I admit it... it's only 2-alarm... 2 and a half tops. I just wanted to be a big man in front of the kids.

Suitable for vegans.

Chilli is super versatile, you can have it on its own, served with rice, mixed with rice and used in a burrito, used in a easy chilli wrap, or even thrown on nachos and topped with guacamole and cheese. See? Versatile. Oh yeah and it's super fucking easy to make to boot. This is a variation on the chilli used in the Nacho Mountain recipe, it's pretty much the same with beans for extra fibre!

You need:

  • 1 white onion, finely chopped
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 red pepper, finely diced
  • 1 can mixed beans
  • 1 can tomatoes
  • 1 pack of chilli spice mix (or make your own!*)
  • 2 mixed chillies, finely chopped
  • Brown sugar
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Olive oil
  • Mixed herbs/oregano/fresh parsley (optional)

Heat olive oil in a pan on medium-high heat.

Add onions and garlic, sauté for a minute, then add peppers with chillies and cook for a further 1-2 minutes until you begin to smell the sweetness of the pepper.

Reduce the heat to a fairly low heat, and add the spice mix. Stir well, coating all the veg.

Once everything is coated nicely, add canned tomatoes immediately, along with about 1/3 cup of water. Stir well.

Bring to the boil, add some salt and pepper, and brown sugar if it needs more depth (this helps bring out the sweetness in the tomatoes!). Stir well, cover, and reduce to low heat.

Let simmer for around 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain the can of beans and add. Stir thoroughly. Let simmer for further 5 minutes.



And done!! Super easy and super quick. For serving suggestions see above. Goes nicely topped with some jalapeños for some colour and extra heat!

NEW RELEASE!! OKUS - SCOURGE LP

We are super psyched to announce our 6th release today! Thanks to everyone for supporting the label and making this possible. CHAIN#004 is possibly our heaviest yet, from a band that rivals the crushing, bleak devastation of Iskra; but with their approach having more of a sludge influence.

Okus play a blackened metallic crust fused with sludge and doom, and this will be their second release following their debut self-titled album. 


We are proud to be a part of the release of their latest record 'SCOURGE' alongside Distroy Records once again. The record will be due out in early April, so stay tuned for artwork and new tracks that will be made available!! Listen to their self-titled release: OKUS.
