INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dry TVP (approx. 40g)
1/2 cup kidney beans (canned, drained, approx. 130g)
1/2 cup black beans (canned, drained, approx. 130g)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (canned, approx. 120g)
1/4 cup diced yellow onion (approx. 40g)
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper (approx. 75g)
1/2 cup vegetable broth (approx. 120g)
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by rehydrating the TVP: Place the dry TVP in a bowl and pour in hot water (or vegetable broth) just enough to cover it. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until softened, then drain any excess liquid.
In a medium pot, heat a splash of water or a light cooking spray over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion and red bell pepper until they soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the rehydrated TVP to the pot along with the chili powder, ground cumin, and garlic powder. Stir for 1 minute to toast the spices lightly.
Mix in the kidney beans, black beans, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat and allow the chili to cook for about 15-20 minutes so the flavors meld together, stirring occasionally.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve hot. Enjoy this hearty chili on its own or paired with a side of steamed greens or a whole grain for an extra boost.
