Vegan Bean & Veggie Chili
Ingredients:
7–8 crushed tomatoes
1 can tomato paste
16 ounces black beans, softened
16 ounces chick peas, softened
16 ounces sweet corn (org)
2 green, 1 yellow, 1 orange bell pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon white and black pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons agave
Sea salt and cayenne pepper to taste
About 1 cup dry uncooked brown rice
1/4 cup TVP if extra protein is desired
1 avocado
Directions:
Boil water with the rice in small pot. Next, heat up the crushed tomatoes. Once the rice is soft. Add the rice and tomato paste into your stock pot.
Dice your bell peppers (I used a Vitamix on the lowest setting to quickly dice mine) and add into pot.
Add garlic, spices, agave, beans, and corn and let cook on medium heat until boiling with a covered lid. Watch pot so chili doesn't boil over!
Add water if you want a thinner consistency or 2–4 tablespoons of coconut flour if you wish for a thicker, heavier consistency.
Top with sliced avocado, nutritional yeast, or homemade vegan cornbread if desired! Enjoy!
