Vegetarian Chili Recipes

 

The advent of "chili" pre-dates earlier than we may have thought, as the Aztecs, Incas, and Mayans ate a meal consisted of meat, beans, peppers, and herbs.  Chili warms the stomach, and warms the hands, on cold winter nights. You can freeze it in separate containers and thaw one out. These recipes call for either Quorn (which is made from mushrooms), Boca, which calls for Soy meat, or Walnut/Cauliflower meat. See which one you like most and let us know! 

 

Some people like kidney beans but you can always eliminate them. However, one cup of kidney beans has 22% of Iron, 4% of Vitamin C, 6% of Calcium, 45% of Fiber, 31% of Protein, 23% of Vitamin B1, 20% of Potassium, and 19% of Magnesium, so you may want to keep them in the pot.
