Vegetarian Chili
- Yield: 8 1x

Description
Vegetarian Chili that’s “meaty” and satisfying – without the meat! A hearty mixture of walnuts, mushrooms, and carrots as your base, with big flavors of onion, garlic, green chiles and spices. SO GOOD.

Instructions
- Make the “meat” – pulse all ingredients in a food processor until broken down into a chunky paste-like texture. Set aside.
- Eat it up!
Notes
Beans: A lot of vegetarian chili recipes are based around beans, and I wanted this recipe to be bean-optional for people who don’t like or can’t have beans. So if you want to skip the beans altogether, no problem! That being said, I like black beans in this vegetarian chili, but kidney beans, white beans, or pinto beans would all be great.
