AIP Chili Recipe
Description
The AIP Chili Recipe uses a base of coconut oil sautéed onions, garlic, and carrots combined with ground meat seasoned with dried herbs such as oregano, basil, and parsley along with turmeric. Yellow squash and zucchini add body and mild sweetness to the chili. Pumpkin puree enriches the texture, giving a smooth, thick consistency that distinguishes this chili from those with tomato bases.
The cooking method begins by softening vegetables, browning the meat, then simmering everything in chicken broth with lemon juice and optional coconut aminos to add umami depth. The result is a stew-like chili with layers of herbaceous flavor and tender, cooked-through vegetables and meat.
This chili suits meals that adhere to the autoimmune protocol (AIP) diet while delivering warming, satisfying flavors. It can be served alone or with sides that fit the diet guidelines for a complete meal.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil or cooking oil of choice
- 1 small yellow onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 3 large carrot peeled and chopped
- 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
- 1 Tbsp ginger minced
- 2 tsp oregano dried
- 1 tsp basil dried
- 1 tsp parsley dried
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric ground
- 1 tsp salt to taste, sea salt
- 2 small yellow squash chopped
- 1 medium zucchini chopped
- 1 (15-oz) can pumpkin puree
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice fresh
- 3 Tbsp coconut aminos optional
Instructions
- Heat the coconut oil in a large dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add the onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until it has softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and carrots and continue sauteing another 2 minutes.
- Scoot the vegetables off to one side of the pot and add the ground turkey, ginger, oregano, basil, parsley, turmeric, and sea salt. Brown the turkey for 2 to 3 minutes, flip, then brown on the other side for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to break up the meat into smaller pieces and stir it into the vegetables.
- Add the remaining ingredients, cover the pot and bring to a full boil.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook 20 minutes, until the vegetables have reached desired done-ness and the turkey is cooked through.
- Serve chili with fresh chopped parsley, chives, and/or your choice of toppings.
