Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil 30 mL
- 1 oz package tempeh 226 g, roughly grated
- 1 medium white onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 celery diced, stalk
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3/4 cup tomato sauce 177 mL
- 1 oz can Kidney Beans 425 g, drained
- 1 oz can black beans 425 g, drained
- 1 cup water 240 mL
- 1 tsp cumin equal amounts
- 1 tsp salt equal amounts
- 1/4 tsp chili powder equal amounts
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes equal amounts
- green onion to serve, green onion chopped, plain Greek yogurt
- Greek yogurt to serve, green onion chopped, plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Brown Tempeh: Heat oil over medium/high heat in a large pot. Add tempeh and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. It's okay if some of it sticks to the bottom of the pan. It will come off when you add the liquids.
- Add Flavor Makers: Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic, continuing to cook until veggies are a bit soft, about 5 minutes.
- Cook Everything: Add the remaining ingredients, reduce heat to medium, and cook until warm and the flavors have blended, about 15 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Top with green onions and serve.
Notes
- Storage: In an airtight container, leftover chili will last for 5 days in the fridge. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.
- Can you make vegan chili in a slow cooker? Yes! To make this tempeh chili in a slow cooker, you'll still need to brown the tempeh and saute the onion, celery, pepper, and garlic until soft. Then simply transfer everything to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours (high for 3 to 4).
- How long does vegan chili last? Store this chili in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 to 5 days.
- Can you freeze vegan chili? This tempeh chili can be frozen! Freeze in portion-sized freezer-safe baggies or containers. When ready to eat, let thaw in the fridge overnight, then heat in the microwave or on the stove.
