Vegan chili


Chili is one of those dishes that can easily be adapted to your preference.  Scott makes turkey chili, pretty much every week.  I like variety and this one pleases the carnivores and vegetarians in my family.  Let me know if you try it.

Vegan chili

Ingredients 

1 tablespoon                                                Oil
4                                                                    Diced carrots 
12 oz.                                                             Diced string beans
14.5 oz.                                                          Corn kernels
28 oz.                                                             Diced tomatoes
4 cloves                                                        Minced garlic
1 tablespoon                                               Chili powder
1 teaspoon                                                   Cumin
1 tablespoon                                               Chives
1/4 teaspoon                                                Red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon                                               Fresh cilantro (or 1 teaspoon of coriander)
1/2 teaspoon                                               Salt and pepper
1 can                                                             Dark kidney beans
1 can                                                              Black beans
                                  1/2 diced avocado per serving (optional)

Directions 


Heat up the oil in a big pot (Ducth oven works great), on medium heat, saute the carrots about 5 minutes, meanwhile dice the string beans.  Add them to the pot.  Mince the garlic and add to the veggies, let it cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.  Add the tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.  Add the can of kidney beans, black beans and corn.  Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer about 15 minutes.  I rarely wait more than 5 minutes but the flavors come together more deeply over time.  It's why the leftovers are so good.

I ate it with rice, Scott will probably eat it with pasta.


Yep, he did.


Always eat à la you and bon appétit!
