VEGAN CHORIZO CHILI



Vegan Chorizo Chili image

I looked at a bunch of vegan chili recipes trying to find one that I really liked. This recipe is a remix/modification of a great recipe. I could probably double the soy chorizo, as it's my absolute favorite meat substitute and I can't get enough of it. Your mileage may vary. I also don't get too caught up on what should or shouldn't be in chili.

VEGAN CHORIZO



Vegan Chorizo image

When tofu is crumbled into small bits, combined with umami-rich mushrooms and coated with big-flavor ingredients like chile guajillo, clove and oregano, it becomes a real showstopper. For this soyrizo recipe, the seasonings are similar to those used in Mexican pork chorizo, so use it in dishes where you would normally use the traditional sausage: Serve it as part of a savory breakfast, add it to veggie hash or tuck it inside tortillas for tacos topped with crunchy onion, cilantro, guacamole and lime.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

7 large guajillo chiles, destemmed, deseeded and rinsed
2 chiles de árbol, destemmed, deseeded and rinsed
3 cups boiling water
2 large garlic cloves
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground clove
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, preferably Ceylon
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons liquid aminos, soy sauce or tamari
2 teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
15 1/2 ounces firm tofu, patted dry and crumbled
10 ounces shiitake or cremini mushrooms, trimmed and finely minced (about 3 cups)
1/2 cup neutral oil, such as grapeseed

Steps:

  • Add the guajillo chiles and chiles de árbol to a heatproof bowl and pour in the 3 cups of boiling water. Allow the chiles to rehydrate for at least 10 minutes, gently pressing a bowl on top to submerge them in the water if needed.
  • Once tender, add the chiles to a blender with ½ cup of the soaking liquid. Add the garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, oregano, coriander, clove, cinnamon, liquid aminos and vinegar, and blend for 1 to 2 minutes until completely smooth, stopping to scrape the sides of the blender as needed.
  • Combine the crumbled tofu and minced mushrooms in a large bowl. Pour the blended mixture over the tofu and mushrooms, and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Add the oil to a large (12-inch) pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the soyrizo mixture.
  • Cook for 20 minutes until the mixture begins to sear and lightly brown, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan. The liquid from the tofu and mushrooms should be mostly absorbed.
  • Serve as taco filling with diced onion, minced cilantro, guacamole and lime, or add to your favorite dishes that call for chorizo. Keep refrigerated for up to a week in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Prep the Ingredients: Before you start cooking, ensure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This includes chopping veggies, mincing garlic, and measuring out spices.
  • Use a Large Pot: A large pot will allow for even cooking and prevent overcrowding, ensuring each ingredient gets the heat and flavor it needs.
  • Don't Skimp on Spices: Spices are key to achieving a flavorful chili. Don't be afraid to add a generous amount of chili powder, cumin, and paprika. You can also experiment with other spices like oregano, cayenne pepper, or smoked paprika.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just one or two vegetables. Using a variety of vegetables, such as bell peppers, corn, and black beans, will add texture, depth of flavor, and nutritional value to your chili.
  • Simmer for Flavor: Simmering the chili for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop. This low and slow cooking process is crucial for creating a rich and flavorful chili.
  • Serve with Toppings: When serving the chili, offer a variety of toppings so everyone can customize their bowl. Some popular options include shredded vegan cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

Vegan chorizo chili is a delicious, hearty, and satisfying meal that's perfect for a chilly day. It's packed with flavor, thanks to the combination of spices, vegetables, and vegan chorizo. The best part is that it's easy to make and can be tailored to your preferences. Whether you like it mild or spicy, this chili is sure to be a hit. So gather your ingredients, put on your apron, and get ready to enjoy a comforting bowl of vegan chorizo chili!
