Ingredients

Servings

Chili "Meat"

  • 1 cup walnuts 100 g
  • 2 heaping cups mushrooms 8 oz, 226 g
  • 1 oz can black beans drained and rinsed, 425 g

Chili Fillings

  • 2 Tbsp neutral cooking oil 30 mL, generic cooking oil
  • 1 cup white onion about 1 medium onion
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 cups sweet potato about 2 to 3 medium sweet potatoes, diced
  • 2 oz cans diced tomatoes 425 g
  • 1 oz can black beans drained and rinsed, 425 g
  • 1 ½ cups vegetable broth divided

Seasonings

  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce 30 mL
  • 1 Tbsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp chili powder

Instructions

  1. Chili "Meat": Add walnuts, mushrooms, and drained beans to a food processor. Blitz until mostly broken down into a chunky paste, scraping down the sides as needed.
  2. Cook Veggies: Heat oil over medium in a large pot. Add onion, garlic, and sweet potato, cooking until onion is translucent and soft, about 10 minutes.
  3. Cook "Meat": Add chili "meat" then continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Bring It Together: Add diced tomatoes (undrained), black beans (drained), 1 cup of the vegetable broth, and all seasonings. If your chili is thick, add remaining ½ cup of broth.
  5. Simmer: Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until consistency is thick and chili-like (too watery? let it simmer with the lid off).
  6. Serve: Ladle into bowls, optionally topping with sour cream/yogurt, cheese, tortilla chips, or green onions.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 to 5 days.
