Looking For A Good Recipe For Vegitarian Chilli, Can Anyone Help?
Comments (10) You need to get some texture with veggies so use a couple of different color peppers, coarse sliced and chopped onion, a lot of beans and i love the look and taste and texture of dark red kidney beans–they seem to hold their shape better. Then some kind of canned tomatoes and I make sure I use already seasoned with other veggies like onions, celery what have you. It really makes it that much better. So now it’s chunky add the spices you like. And then present it nice, too. I
Here’s what I do:
Saute a large sweet onion(coarsely sliced and chopped) until translucent then add a large green pepper and large red pepper(in strips). Cook and stir for a few minutes and add chili powder and ground red pepper(cayenne), cumin, oregano, garlic-powder or fresh minced. 2 or 3 cans of drained and rinsed dark red kidney beans. 2 cans of diced or stewed tomatoes(if using stewed-coarsely chopped)(if using diced, buy kind with onion, garlic, some kind of seasoniing) Add water if needed. Simmer for 20 minutes and adjust for salt, chili powder. Add fresh black pepper. Add hot sauce if desired.
To serve: over rice or over spaghetti or my favorite is to:
make or buy round small loaves of bread. Cut off top, hollow bread leaving a good 1/2 inch crust all around. Toast in hot oven a bit, then ladle chili in each ‘bowl’, add some shredded cheddar, top with lid, on an angle.
{Save the bread you tore out for croutons for another day.}
