Vegetarian Chili With Summer Vegetables Food

SUMMER VEGETARIAN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat oil in medium pot. Add onion, garlic, chili powder and cumin. Saute over medium heat until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients (except garnishes) and stir. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer 20 minutes or until vegetables are soft. Add more liquid if needed.
• Serve alone or over rice (preferably brown). Garnish if desired with any of the following: reduced-fat cheddar cheese, onion, fat-free sour cream, guacamole, fresh cilantro.

INSTANT POT VEGETARIAN CHILI WITH SUMMER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Press the 'sauté' button on your instant pot. Add the olive oil and the onion. Cook for 1 minutes and then add the garlic. Cook for another 30 seconds and add the tomatoes, red pepper, zucchini, squash and corn.
• Cook vegetables until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes. Add the beans, broth and all the spices. Stir until combined and add the tomato paste right on top of everything. You don't need to stir it in. If you do, there is a chance it will be too thick and burn.
• Turn the sauté mode off. Securely fasten the lid on the instant pot and set the pressure valve to closed. Press the 'pressure cook' button and set it for 8 minutes.
• Once it's finished cooking, carefully turn the pressure valve to open and wait for all the steam to be released. Open your instant pot and give the chili a good stir before serving. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!

SUMMER VEGETABLE CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add all but a few tablespoons of the chopped red onion. Stir in the garlic, chili powder and cumin and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the poblano, mushrooms and corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 3 more minutes. Add the beans, tomatoes, 1 1/2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then stir and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the chili is thick, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the chili among bowls. Top with the cheese, sour cream and/or cilantro; sprinkle with the reserved red onion. Serve with the tortillas.

THE BEST VEGETARIAN CHILI IN THE WORLD

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and season with bay leaves, cumin, oregano, and salt. Cook and stir until onion is tender, then mix in the celery, green bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, garlic, and green chile peppers. When vegetables are heated through, mix in the vegetarian burger crumbles. Reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer 5 minutes.
• Mix the tomatoes into the pot. Season chili with chili powder and pepper. Stir in the kidney beans, garbanzo beans, and black beans. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer 45 minutes. Stir in the corn, and continue cooking 5 minutes before serving.

VEGGIE CHILI

Steps:

• Remove all the stems from the mushrooms and add them to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Add half of the mushroom caps, slightly breaking them up with your hands as you add them. Pulse the mushrooms until they are finely chopped. Set aside. Halve and slice the remaining mushroom caps and set aside.
• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the finely chopped mushrooms from the food processor and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until the natural liquid from the mushrooms has released and evaporated, about 4 minutes. Add the onion, celery, bell peppers, poblano pepper, cilantro stems and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin and coriander. Stir to coat until the spices are fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, zucchini and sliced mushrooms. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture up to a boil, then turn the heat down to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Remove the lid from the Dutch oven and add the corn, black beans and pinto beans. Stir to combine. Continue cooking until the corn and beans are heated through, an additional 5 minutes. Season with salt.
• Ladle the chili into bowls and top with the desired toppings.
