Description

Imagine a bowl brimming with warmth, a vibrant chili that satisfies your cravings without compromising your health goals. This plant-based creation starts with a foundation of fragrant onion and garlic, sautéed to golden perfection, their sweet and savory notes infusing every bite. Diced red bell pepper joins the aromatic dance, adding a touch of sweetness and a satisfying crunch.

At the heart of this chili lies a generous portion of plant-based mince, offering a delightful meaty texture that will fool even the most ardent meat-eaters. A carefully curated blend of chili spices awakens the senses, delivering a pleasant warmth that builds with each spoonful. These spices mingle harmoniously with the vegetable stock, creating a rich and flavorful broth that coats every ingredient.

Juicy chopped tomatoes burst with their natural sweetness and acidity, lending a vibrant tang that perfectly balances the other flavors. But the magic doesn't stop there. A sprinkle of nutritional yeast adds a subtle cheesy note, enhancing the overall umami and depth of the dish.

A swirl of creamy coconut milk yogurt provides a cooling counterpoint to the chili's warmth, adding a luxurious texture that elevates the experience. Fresh cilantro, chopped and scattered generously, imparts a bright, herbaceous aroma that invigorates the palate. And finally, the crowning glory: diced avocado, its creamy texture melting into the chili, adding richness and healthy fats.

Each spoonful is a symphony of flavors and textures, a harmonious blend of savory, sweet, spicy, and creamy. This chili is incredibly versatile. Serve it over a bed of cauliflower rice for a complete and satisfying meal.

Alternatively, spoon it into halved bell peppers and bake them until tender for a vibrant and colorful presentation. Or, for a lighter option, ladle it over grilled zucchini halves, allowing the chili's flavors to mingle with the zucchini's subtle sweetness. Whether you're following a specific diet or simply seeking a delicious and wholesome meal, this plant-based chili is sure to become a new favorite.

Instructions

    1.
    Finely dice the onion, thinly slice the garlic, and dice the bell pepper. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over low-medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and bell pepper and sweat gently until tender and fragrant.
    2.
    Add the soya mince to the pan along with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chili powder, cumin, coriander, and paprika, adjusting the amount to your preference. Add a generous teaspoon of tomato paste and stir well. Pan-fry over medium heat for a few minutes to warm the spices and cook the mince.
    3.
    Add the vegetable stock and chopped tomatoes to the pan. Stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 8-10 minutes to thicken the sauce, ensuring some liquid remains. Add more stock if needed.
    4.
    While the chili is cooking, add the cauliflower rice to a small saucepan. Add two tablespoons of water. Set the rice over medium heat and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well and heat through for 3-4 minutes until hot and just tender.
    5.
    Divide the cauliflower rice between two serving bowls and top with the chili. Dice the avocado. Top the chili with nutritional yeast, coconut yogurt, avocado, and fresh cilantro to serve.
