Infamous Chili

This is my signature chili. Always requested when I need to bring a dish. Vegan or not, this chili is a hit.

Ingredients:

1 TBSP olive oil

1 med. onion chopped

4 cloves garlic diced

2 hot peppers (your choice) chopped

1 cup vegan beef broth

1 cup corn

1 1/2 cups homemade black beans

1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes

3/4 cup quinoa

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp chili flakes

Pepper to taste

Cook this in a pot on the stove. As soon as the oil is ready to sizzle put the onions in for 1 minute, followed by the garlic for another minute and then the chilies for about 3 minutes. Add all the other ingredients. Simmer medium low for about 25 mins, until quinoa is done, it looks curly. Add more water if it's too thick.

Serves 5-6

Protein 6 grams per serving

Tips: I make it hotter for those that like their food spicy and mild for those that prefer that. It can be served with vegan cheese, onions and Fritos, or made into a modified 6 way: spaghetti, chili, mustard, cheese, onions and hot sauce.
