Big & Bold Vegetarian Chili

Serves 11 (1 cup servings)

 

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp. canola oil
  • 2 Poblano peppers, finely diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced (1 cup)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 blocks of tempeh, crumbled
  • 1 Tbsp. soy sauce (reduced sodium)

 

  • 1 can (12oz) V8- low sodium
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo
  • 1/3 cup raisins
  • 1 Tbsp. ground cumin
  • 1 Tbsp. ground coriander
  • ½ Tbsp. chili powder
  • ½ Tbsp. dried oregano
  • 2 medium tomatoes (very ripe)
  • 1 Tbsp. golden balsamic or sherry vinegar

 

  • 28 oz tomato sauce
  • 1.5-2 cups water
  • 2 (14oz) cans of low sodium black beans
  • 2/3 cup bulgur (dry)

 

Instructions:

 

  • In a large pot heat the canola oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the onions, Poblano peppers, and carrots. Saute until the onions begin to soften, ~5 min.
  • Add the crumbled tempeh and soy sauce. Saute until the tempeh starts to brown slightly, ~5 min (stir frequently to prevent sticking).
  • While the veggies and tempeh are sautĂ©ing set up your blender or food processor. Add the V8, garlic cloves, chipotle peppers, raisins, tomatoes, spices, and vinegar. Blend until smooth.
  • Once the tempeh has started to brown, add the blended V8 mixture, tomato sauce, and water. Simmer for ~15 minutes.
  • Add the black beans and bulgur. Simmer for another 10-15 minutes and remove from heat.
