1. Soak the soya chunks in the cold water for at least one hour. Just before required for cooking drain thoroughly.
2. Put the olive oil and chopped onion into a large saucepan and lightly brown the onion. Add the tomato puree and cook for about 30 seconds.
3. Add the chopped tomatoes, herbs, chopped chilli, chilli powder, kidney beans, chopped peppers, drained soya chunks and freshly ground black pepper and mix thoroughly.
4. Cover the pan and bring to the boil then turn down the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. At the end of this time add the chocolate chunks and stir until they have melted and mixed well. Simmer for another 20 minutes. The chilli should have approximately 40 minutes cooking time, excluding time spent cooking the onion.
