MEAT-LOVERS' VEGETARIAN CHILI

Meat-Lovers' Vegetarian Chili image

This is a thick, hearty vegetarian chili that is a hit at parties even among die-hard meat eaters. The TVP gives it the texture of ground beef, and the chiles give it a nice depth of flavor. Cook it in the slow cooker or on the stovetop. This recipe really benefits from using the best quality ingredients you can find. Also, I find this tastes best after sitting in the fridge overnight and reheating the next day. Serve with grated cheese on top.

KREE'S SWEET AND "MEATY" VEGETARIAN CHILI

Kree's Sweet and

A few years ago, I had the best chili I ever tasted at Earle Estates Meadery on Seneca Lake. I knew they had made it with honey, so I decided to experiment and see what I could come up with. I think this is just as fabulous, and it's so quick and easy. I bet even meat eaters would have trouble figuring out that it's made with TVP instead of beef. It's a very mild chili, so add some heat if that's the way you like it.

Ingredients

1 cup dry textured vegetable protein (TVP)
3/4 cup lukewarm water
1/2 tablespoon chili powder, to taste
1 (15 ounce) can red beans
1 (15 ounce) can black beans
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

vegetable broth (for non-vegetarians(if needed) or chicken broth (for non-vegetarians(if needed)

Steps:

Combine the TVP, lukewarm water, and chili powder; allow to sit for about 10 minutes to rehydrate.
Rinse the beans thoroughly to cut down on the sodium content.

You may need to add some broth if it gets too thick.
Taste the chili and add more honey or spices as desired.
Simmer an additional 10-15 minutes, or until it's nice and warm; the time is pretty flexible since you're just heating everything up.
This is great served over a baked potato and sprinkled with shredded cheddar soy cheese!
You can also serve it on rice or toast, or however you prefer.

SWEET AND SPICY VEGETARIAN CHILI

Sweet and Spicy Vegetarian Chili image

"Many chili recipes contain brown or white sugar. In this recipe, more nutritious barley malt adds a smoky, beerlike sweetness that contrasts deliciously with the spices and green chiles." - Recipe from "Delicious Living" magazine, February 2004.

Use a variety of beans: This will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, and cannellini beans.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables: This is a great way to add more nutrients and flavor to your chili. Some good options include corn, zucchini, carrots, and bell peppers.
