The Most Delicious Vegetarian Chilli Recipe (V, GF)

January 30, 2017 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

Vegetarian Chilli Recipe Inspired by Nick Vegan Gluten Free

Winter. The season where our coats come on, our cheeks get cold, and the best way to warm up is with a bowl of chilli.

Right?

I mean, winter = comfort food. Simple equation.

Of course, winter means a lot of things, but when it comes to dinners at home, or weekend afternoons… I know that my winter meals often default to something warm, and something comforting.

You may know that I was recently in Cabo on a mini family getaway. The trip was a birthday gift for my mom. A birthday of hers which she’s asked me to keep a secret. Regardless of age, we all managed to celebrate my amazing mom for seven days straight!

And while it may have been great to escape Toronto and Montreal’s winter scenes for a week, coming home to a soar throat and a nasty cold was certainly no fun.

The moment I woke up with that lump in my throat, I knew I was in for it. I made an effort to play the optimist and tell myself that it was from the hotel room’s AC.

I even tried to sweat it out with a couple morning runs on the beach.

But alas, my return home was cold, bitter, and bed-ridden. Like most people’s winters.

The remedy? A bowl of chilli. Correction; a steaming hot, mucho caliente bowl of hearty vegetarian chilli.

I’m still drooling over it today!

This. Chilli. Though!

Hearty.
Nutritious.
Comforting.
Red.
Like, really red.
Vegetarian.
Vegan.
Healthy.
Spicy (if you want it to be).

Just plain irresistible.

I think I’ve always loved chilli. It’s one of those foods that just warms the soul. Feeling down? Have a bowl of chilli. Cold from winter? Have a bowl of chilli. Vegetarian? Have a bowl of vegan chilli.

I actually don’t know how I haven’t shared this vegetarian chilli recipe sooner.

The main ingredients you need to start with are good quality diced tomatoes.

I’m using Mutti’s canned diced tomatoes which are great. I love that they’re all natural, and I love that Mutti focuses on natural ingredients.

This isn’t the first time I’m cooking with Mutti products (in case you missed my vegan pizza recipe on naan rounds) and it certainly won’t be the last.

A couple bowls of these bad boys and my throat was feeling way better. I mean, I’m not saying it’s a magical chilli that can cure your cold or flu, but hey, if the shoe fits. 😉

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 garlic gloves, minced
  • 1 chili pepper, diced
  • 400g red kidney beans
  • 400g black pinto beans
  • 1 pack of shiitake mushrooms
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • 2 teaspoons of ground cumin
  • 2 cans of Mutti Diced Tomatoes
  • 2 cups of water
  • Ground black pepper and coarse sea salt to taste

DIRECTIONS

In a large pot, heat your olive oil on medium. Toss your diced onions in and let simmer until lightly browned. Add your minced garlic and chilli pepper, and stir for three minutes or so.

Next add your cumin and salt and pepper. Stir until all ingredients in the pot are well seasoned. Now fold in your diced zucchini and shiitake mushrooms, and raise heat to medium-high. Cook while stirring frequently, until zucchini is slightly soft.

Fold in your pinto beans, your kidney beans as well as your diced tomatoes. Mix all ingredients evenly with your spoon before adding your two cups of water.

Grocery shopping but 'leveled up' 💁🏻‍♂️🍄 y’all know that food shopping is basically my favourite hobby 😂. Over the past few weeks, I’ve told you about #MyHealthMyChoices by @MetroOntario and now I’m gonna show you just how easy it is to sort and find foods you love, while fitting within your dietary needs.

I always start in produce (naturally) and then jump straight to organic aisles for my fav snacks. Using the green labels in-store, I can identify (at a quick glance) which products are plant-based, vegan, or gluten-free. The My Health, My Choices program also allows me to scan product barcodes using the MyMetro app and search for exactly what I need, taking the whole experience to the next level 🙌🏼 ➡️ Swipe to see my shopping experience and what items I picked up at my local Metro. #Sponsored #MyMetro #Inspiredbynick
we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still taking time to settle in. there are some projects we wanna get done asap but can’t due to lockdown, so we’re just gonna go with the flow and enjoy the ride together 👬🏻 ps, that photo is from 9 years ago on one of our first dates
When you’re craving a burger but you also want a When you’re craving a burger but you also want a #meatless option 🙌🏼🍔 Organic Black Bean Fiesta Burgers made by yours truly 🍔💁🏻‍♂️when I was vegan I really had to get creative with a lot of my recipes, otherwise I’d be eating the same old bean salad every day… and bean salad doesn’t really taste like a burger when you’re craving a burger! Even though I’m not fully vegan anymore, I do still like to swap out meat as much as possible with other #plantbased options because that’s what works for me! 
With @metroontario's new program, MyHealth, MyChoices finding products that suit your dietary needs and lifestyles couldn't be easier. With almost 9,000 products labelled with nearly 50 different attributes like plant-based, fat-free, non-GMO, etc., you can easily find what works for you. So for this recipe, I looked for the green labels in-store, found the perfect Irresistibles organic black beans and extra virgin olive oil and whipped up a batch of patties that my heartmate and I devoured! (Tip: they also freeze well)! The recipe for them is on my blog (link in bio) and on Metro’s Instagram page and website! Hope you enjoy these if you decide to make them! #inspiredbynick  #MyHealthMyChoices #mymetro #sponsored

At-home yoga for the winnn! 🧘🏻‍♂️🌿✨ because even though supporting my local yoga studio looks different now than in the past (classes are all online or through their app), I can still feel good about being a paying member and doing a small part to #supportlocal. 
-
I am not THE poster child for supporting local, that’s just the truth, but I do what I can, where I can. Honestly, I do miss being in the hot studio where after a class I would be drenched and feeling so accomplished, ironically though, I’m surprisingly still drenched after a 90 min class at home, more so than I thought I would be! So I still feel good about getting my workout in, even if it’s different than being there in person. 
- 
Anyone who does yoga regularly like me knows a wet bag is essential after a good flow. The team at @forwardwithdesign have this awesome bag (I link to it in my stories) that I love--it’s super practical and I love the cute print! While I’m not getting as much use out of it as I’d like right now, it will definitely be coming with me to the studio when some of our restrictions lift and small businesses open up again!!
