If you are a big fan for chili, you may have regretted about not being able to switch to vegetarian diet. In fact, this should not be your concern. I am about to introduce you two vegetarian chili recipes in this article. You will find that you do not have to give up chili for a healthier diet.
Of the two recipes, one is for those who like spicier flavor, and the other is for average palate.
* Vegetarian Chili for Average Palate
This chili recipe is simple. To prepare, you will need:
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 can of pinto or black beans, drained
- 1 can of kidney beans, drained
1. Find a large soup pot, and put in the olive oil. Then, add the onion, garlic and bell pepper to the pot and saute for about 4 or 5 minutes.
2. Add the tomatoes, vegetable broth and chili powder to the pot, and stir the mixture.
3. Add the black beans and kidney beans to the mixture. Set heat to medium-low when doing so.
4. Now, cook the chili for a minimum of 20 minutes, and be sure to stir from time to time. If you are not in a rush, you can reduce the heat and let the chili simmer for a while. Longer cooking time will enhance the chili flavor.
* Hot and Spicy Vegetarian Chili
