I made this chili today at the last minute and just threw a bunch of stuff in a pot (like you do with chili) but I have to say (as did everyone else) that this is the best veggie chili I have ever had!!! So, enjoy! P.S. It is very important that you follow this as close as possible; flavors are key and don't worry; this is not too spicy. I think it is a perfect amount of spice!!!
Ingredients:
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 (6 ounce) cans hunts tomato paste with basil garlic and oregano
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn (drained)
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes with jalapenos (do not drain)
4 stalks celery, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1/2 large yellow onion, diced
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 large yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 large orange bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 dark chocolate (i used high quality, 60% cocoa)
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons oregano
2 teaspoons chili powder
5 large fresh basil leaves, minced
1 tablespoon hot sauce (i used sriracha)
1 dash cayenne
1/2-1 cup water (you'll have to thin to your liking but i intended this to be a thick-stew like chili)
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a large pot.
2. Simmer on low for 2 hours covered.
3. Stir frequently to avoid bottom gunk.
4. I serve mine with shredded sharp cheddar cheese, a small dollop of sour cream and saltine crackers or tortilla chips. If you are vegan you would leave out this step.
