Sams Vegetarian Bean Chili Recipes

Steps:

• In a large, heavy pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, garlic, and serrano peppers, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the zucchini, corn, and mushrooms, and cook, stirring, until soft and the vegetables give off their liquid and start to brown around the edges, about 6 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, salt and cayenne, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and stir well. Add the beans, tomato sauce, and vegetable stock, stir well, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro. Adjust the seasoning, to taste.
• To serve, place 1/4 cup of brown rice in the bottom of each bowl. Ladle the chili into the bowls over the rice. Top each serving with a dollop of sour cream and spoonful of avocado. Sprinkle with Essence and green onions and serve.

Steps:

• For the chili: In a Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the onions with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper until the onions are soft, about 3 minutes. Mix in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil along with the tomato paste, chili powder, chipotle powder, coriander, cumin, cayenne and garlic. Cook to toast the spices and tomato paste, 1 to 2 minutes. Then add the vegetable broth, tomatoes, corn, black beans, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, Worcestershire and 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• Serve the chili with the toppings bar.

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion, poblano, and garlic; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in green chiles, chili powder, and cumin and cook 3 minutes. Add beans, tomatoes and juice, and 2 cups water; bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender and chili is thickened, 20 to 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt.

Steps:

• Start by placing 2 tbsp of the avocado oil in a cast iron pan on medium heat.
• Dice up 1/2 a small yellow onion and the jalapeño and add to the oil, stirring for 1-2 minutes until onions are translucent; remove mixture and set aside.
• Place the 2 Beyond Burger patties in the pan. Using a wooden spoon, break them up the same way you would ground beef. Cook until burger bits are crispy. Be sure to get all the pieces stuck to the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat so as not to burn it.
• While the burger crumbles are cooking, boil 1 cup of water. In a separate bowl or large mug, place the 2 vegan beef bouillon cubes. Using the handle of the wooden spoon, crush the cubes into a powder. Once the water has boiled, turn the heat off and add the crusted cubes to create a broth.
• Next, add in the TVP, stirring once, then letting it sit to rehydrate. All water should be absorbed by the TVP.
• Once rehydrated, add 1/2 of the TVP mixture and onion mixture into your Beyond Burger crumbles. .
• Add the remaining 2 tbsp of avocado oil and stir so everything is coated and the TVP browns. This should take about 3 minutes with the stove on medium heat.
• In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients: ketchup, tomato paste, vegan worcestershire sauce, chili powder, onion powder, garlic salt, pepper, and sugar. Once all of the ingredients are mixed, pour the mixture into your "meat". Stir for a couple minutes so everything is coated. At this point it should look almost like a paste and should be very thick. .
• Let this mixture cook for about 5 minutes total before adding the remaining 1/2 cup of water. Reduce the flame to low heat and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, adding more water if needed. Be sure to stir occasionally making sure nothing is sticking to the bottom or burning. .
• Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. For more heat, I would suggest adding more jalapeño 1 tsp at a time or additional chili power in the same fashion.
• *Substitutions*.
• EVOO can be used in place of avocado oil, plain white sugar can be used in place of the unrefined sugar and tomato sauce can be used in place of tomato paste. Just be sure to adjust the water accordingly so you don't end up with a chili that is too watery.
• **Also, since you are only using 1/2 of the TVP mixture, I usually freeze the other half to have later for tacos.
