Mushroom Chili

Clara Sanders

Report

A "meaty" vegan mushroom chili that combines two types of beans and warm spices. Protein-rich and so satisfying! Great served with avocado.

Instructions

Dice onion and bell pepper. Chop mushrooms (tough stems removed).
In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion and bell pepper for about 6-7 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. broth/water for oil-free sauté method, adding more as needed.)
Meanwhile, mince garlic.
When onion is softened, add spices: chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and oregano. Stir. Then add garlic and mushrooms. Stir again and sauté 2-3 minutes.
Add crushed tomatoes, broth, and both beans (rinsed and drained).
Bring to a light boil. Then cover, reduce heat, and let simmer for about 25 minutes.
Serve with any desired toppings. (I like avocado and hot sauce.)

Notes

Other additions: Poblano, zucchini, sweet corn, or tomato paste for thicker broth.
Make it spicy: Add chipotle in adobo, jalapeno, medium diced green chiles, a dash of ground chipotle powder, cayenne pepper, or hot sauce.
Yield: Recipe makes about 9 cups chili.
