Kickass My Sacred Vegan Chili
I'm posting my most used vegan recipe that i adore on its own, on nachos, on my husband's bald head, eating at work, just generally eating. my best bud maaweee loves it, my family loves it, all my mates love it, and it's so simple you will kick yourself on how simple it is. put in veg you want to use from your fridge. to make it hotter, add more chili. Get psychopathic with the chili if you like it! i like using fake mozzarella and homemade guacamole on nachos for this. it makes for good weekend dinners. i could eat it now! oooo nachos...... Oh yeah heats up good the next day.
Steps
Heat the oil in pan and add onion.
Fry for 5-10 minutes until translucent.
Add garlic and fry for two minutes.
Add celery.
Sweat for five minutes with lid on adding more oil or a little water.
Add the carrots and do the same for five minutes , then the parsnips , then the peppers then the mushrooms and then courgettes.
Basically hard veggies first , soft veggies after with 5 minutes in between them to let flavours develop.
Add the tomatoes , tomato paste and chili dried vegetable stock cubes and a little water.
Also add kidney beans.
Season with salt and pepper and add the cocoa if using or chocolate.
Simmer for 10 minutes on low with the lid off.
