Simple Vegetarian Chili

This simple vegetarian chili makes a perfect meal now that the weather is getting a bit cooler. The recipe was inspired this evening by the ingredients that I happened to have in my cupboards and fridge. I threw a few things together, and it turned out to be delicious!

This chili has a hint of sweetness and isn’t too spicy. If you prefer a spicier chili you can easily dial it up a notch by adding more red chili flakes or hot sauce.

Ingredients
  1. 2-3 tbsp avocado oil
  2. 1 onion (I used ½ of a red onion and ½ of a yellow onion, but either one alone will work)
  3. 1 ½ cups celery, diced
  4. 1 cup carrot, finely diced
  5. 2 Portobello mushrooms or 2 cups Crimini mushrooms, diced
  6. 5-6 cloves of garlic
  7. 1 red pepper
  8. 1 yellow pepper
  9. 2 cups frozen corn (organic)
  10. 796ml can (2 ½ cups) of organic diced tomatoes
  11. 739ml jar of organic tomato sauce (not tomato paste)
  12. Large can (540ml) of chickpeas (approx. 2 ½ cups)
  13. Large can (540ml) of kidney beans (approx. 2 ½ cups)
  14. 2 ½ tbsp chili powder
  15. 1 tsp cumin
  16. 2 tsp oregano
  17. 1 tsp black pepper
  18. 1 tsp Herbamare or sea salt
  19. ½ tsp dried red chili flakes (optional, to taste)
  20. 2 cups baby spinach, chopped
Instructions
  1. Heat the avocado oil in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, mushrooms, carrots and garlic. Stir and cook for 5 minutes.
  2. Add the red and yellow pepper and stir, cooking for 5 more minutes.
  3. Add the diced tomatoes with juice, tomato sauce, corn, chickpeas and kidney beans. Add all spices and stir to combine. Increase heat to medium-high until chili begins to boil and then decrease heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes while stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove chili from heat and add the chopped spinach. Stir to combine and let chili sit covered for 5-10 minutes to wilt the spinach. Serve and enjoy!
