Firstly, heat the olive oil in a large pan and cook the onion and peppers for about 10 minutes. As soon as the vegetables have softened, throw in the mushrooms and garlic. Then, cook for a further few minutes.
Mix in the chilli powder and chipotle paste, maple syrup, cumin and coriander and stir to coat everything thoroughly. When everything is coated, add the beans and chopped tomatoes. Then pour in 100 ml/3½ fl oz/7 tbsp of the stock and bring to a simmering boil. At this point, pop in the chocolate and stir until it melts. Season and simmer for 30 minutes.
