Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 zucchini diced
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 green pepper seeded and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic pressed
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes 28 ounce
  • 32 ounce vegetable stock
  • 1 can Kidney beans, drained and rinsed 15 ounce
  • 1 can Pinto beans, drained and rinsed 1 pound & 13 ounce
  • 1 can tomato paste 6 ounce
  • 2 Tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 cup walnuts chopped
  • pinch of red pepper flakes
  • green onion, shredded cheddar cheese, plain greek yogurt (optional), for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large stock pot, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add zucchini, onion, green pepper, and garlic. Saute for about 3-5 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add in remaining ingredients (except garnish options). Stir and cover. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Serve with desired garnishes. ENJOY!

Notes

  • For the Instant Pot:
  • Topping ideas: corn chips, baked tortilla strips, pico de gallo and salsa are amazing on vegetarian chili too!
  • Storing: Transfer leftover chili to an airtight container. Keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove top.
  • Stir. As the chili simmers, give it an occasional stir. This helps the ingredients combine and cook evenly.
  • Add stock with vegetables, seasoning, beans, paste, and nuts to the pressure cooker. Lock the lid and select HIGH PRESSURE. Add a cook time of 5 minutes.
  • Allow to naturally release for 10 minutes. Remove lid, stir and enjoy!
