Tofu Chili A Spicy Fiery Meat Free Vegan Food

TOFU CHILI: A SPICY, FIERY, MEAT-FREE, VEGAN RECIPE

Steps:

• Leave your tofu in the freezer until frozen (overnight), then allow it to thaw naturally on the side. When it's soft, place your tofu into a tofu press and leave the excess liquid to drain thoroughly before preparing your homemade vegetarian chili.
• Pour oil into a large skillet or large pot on the stovetop and turn the heat to medium.
• Dice your onions and peppers, then saute them in the heated oil until they start to soften.
• Mince your garlic cloves and mix them with the onions and pepper. Take your block of tofu and crumble it into the skillet.
• Pour in your chili powder, cumin powder, paprika powder, and ancho chile powder. Mix all your ingredients together.
• Give your vegetarian chili with tofu a taste, then add in cayenne pepper powder as per your tastes. If you like your spiced tofu extra hot, then keep adding cayenne pepper!
• Cook all the spices and ingredients in the skillet for another 5 minutes before turning down the heat.
• Next, add your cans of tomatoes, black beans, and kidney beans to the mix. Pour in your vegan ale and add some tomato paste to thicken the chili tofu. Keep stirring, then allow your vegan chili with tofu to simmer for at least 30 minutes. You can keep it simmering for longer to thicken the sauce up. Alternatively, if it's too thick, just add a splash of water to the skillet while it's simmering.
• Towards the end of the simmering process, add your corn to the dish and stir through. Take another taste, and add more cayenne pepper powder and salt and pepper as you like. Allow to simmer for another 2 minutes, then turn off the heat.
• Allow to rest, then serve your freshly cooked vegan tofu chili to your hungry family and friends!
