Vegetable Chili

February 18, 2010 by epicureanvegan

Vegetable Chili -- Epicurean VeganA great, hearty vegan meal! And such a cinch to make. I added about 7-oz of Gimme Lean Ground Beef Style, but it’s certainly optional. You can use any meat alternative you’d like, or even add about a 1/2 cup of barley.

INGREDIENTS:
7-oz (half a tube) Gimme Lean ground beef style (optional)
1 small eggplant, cubed
1 onion, chopped
2 tsp minced garlic
2 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1-28oz can diced tomatoes, juice and all
2 to 2-1/2 cans of water (I use an empty kidney bean can)
1 small can tomato paste
1 pkg. chili seasoning
Salt, to taste
Vegan cheddar, shredded
Tofutti sour cream

DIRECTIONS:
Saute the Gimme Lean with the garlic until browned. Basically, combine everything in a large soup pot and simmer for about 30 mins. Serve in individual bowls (about 8 servings) salt to taste, top with cheese and a dollop of sour cream.  Enjoy!

    Do you like the Gimme Lean better than the boca crumbles?

      I like them both–I’ve only used the Gimme Lean in the chili and it has a softer texture than the Boca crumbles. I think the Boca ones are easier to use and good for tacos–the Gimme Lean comes in a log and you have to crumble it up yourself, but it has more of a meaty texture and is more versatile than the crumbles, such as making hamburger patties.

      Oh yes, very easy. Just chop up a few things, open some cans, dump them in, and simmer.

The Epicurean Vegan is devoted to those wanting to eat healthy, save animals, and reduce their carbon footprint. My decision to go vegan started out as a quest to get healthier, but the more I learned about veganism, the more I realized how damaging the meat and dairy industries are to the environment and, of course, the animals. And it is for these reasons, that I would never go back to eating or wearing animal products. Ever.
