Vegetarian Chili? Recipes, tips...?!
Thanks!
Answers: I am making chili for about 30 guys, and one is a vegetarian so I am going to make him his own small pot of chili. I was wondering if anyone has used the Morningstar Ffarms ground crumbles before and how they tasted? Or if anyone has a really good recipe for vegetarian chili I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
My daughter is a vegetarian, and for her I substitute lentils for the meat. They thicken the mixture and add a meat-like texture. Here's my recipe:
Ingredients:
Lg can crushed tomatoes
Med can tomato sauce
Small jar salsa (whatever 'heat' you like)
Can of dark kidney beans (undrained)
Can of light kidney beans (undrained)
Small chopped onion
1 1/2 cups uncooked lentils
2 tbsp Worcheshire sauce
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp cumin
chili powder to taste
salt/pepper to taste
Directions:
Saute onions & garlic in small amount of olive oil. Combine the remainder of the ingredients. Simmer for about an hour on stovetop, or, for several hours on low in the crockpot. Great served over white rice. Add richness by topping with grated cheddar and a dollop of sour cream.
