i know what you mean when it comes to eating sans meat. This was the best vegetarian chili I ever had. Healthy, filling and great flavors! The meal was a suck-cess and it arms him for trying to convince his mother that you can live normally whilst being a vegetarian. And I’m really liking the addition of sun-dried tomatoes…super yummy! Another wonderful recipe. I made double the recipe and put it all in.the slow cooker. I was gonna say same thing like HELLO “con carne” literally means “with meat” so just call it meatless chili and be on your way FFS. It’s also a quick and easy way to serve up chilli leftovers – just pop a potato in the oven or microwave, heat up your chilli and enjoy. And I love that you called it “chili con carne” because that was exactly what we were looking for — a vegetarian recipe that had the same mouth-feel and flavors of chili con carne. I’ll keep my eyes open for the cashew sour cream. Avocado, cilantro, corn chips and of course a sauce! I have it down on my menu plan for next week and I can hardly wait to try it. Keep enjoying, see you around! its so hearty.. Thanks from Melbourne Aus. Yes, totally – great food doesn’t need to be so processed . Love that yummy avocado on the top! 125ml liquid for all that food?!?! Woo! Cool! I am thinking to make it on the weekend for a mid- week dinner. You need to add more liquid like. When the water has dried up to form a gravy, it means that your vegetarian chilli con carne recipe is ready. You can either pop the chilli in the microwave until it’s well cooked through, or reheat it slowly over a medium heat on a stove. So glad, Candice. Hi Audrey, I normally use red lentils in this recipe as they cook the quickest . Add tomatoes, baked beans, tomato puree, stock cube, garlic, chilli, cumin powder and salt, cook on a low heat for 20 minutes, stir occasionally. Even better when it’s turned into guacamole . Sure thing! It has saved my life since turning vegan cause the kids devoured it along with cashew sour cream. More veg = even better, and is a nice way to go low-carb for those that need to. The lentils and beans ensure the chili is hearty and filling, while the peppers, onion and corn give it that real chili con carne feel. Really glad you liked the recipe, Cody!! Thank you . I’m sure I’ve added a pint of water so far and I’ve still ten minutes to go!! Vegetarian Chilli Con Carne (vegetarian/vegan) Chilli Con Carne for vegans and vegetarians: made with mushrooms instead of meat, with a bit of chocolate for the great taste. You’re absolutely right, Ronak! I made this and it was absolutely delicious! Mouthwatering Meatless Chili Con Carne (Vegan). Wohooooo!! It looks awesome! So you use the liquid from the canned tomatoes, right? That sounds so cool. Add sweet corn, tomato paste, salt and pepper in the pan. Pardon my ignorance: but chopped tomatoes would be the same as diced, correct? That was a shame, because it meant I missed out on some of my favourite meals. but you’re right, the veggie kind is just as good if not better. I hope that helps! Firstly, great to hear your nine year old is getting so much support from everyone – and that the whole family enjoyed the recipe. I’m only in my second week of eating plant based food, but this is definitely the best recipe yet! (fresh, frozen, dry – all work – use more if fresh), Throw all these ingredients into a pan with. use smoked paprika and a bit of smoked tofu – so good! I also love how you added lentils to this, rather than 5 different types of beans (which is what i usually just do haha), However, the title should be ‘sin carne’ and not ‘con carne’, Ha!
