Recipe is here! rainbowplantlife.com/vegan-chili/ PS: We used the term “vegetarian chili” since that’s what most people search for when looking for a bean/no-meat chili, but rest assured, this recipe (like all my recipes) is also vegan!

i made this, it took a WHILE but it was absolutely worth it, the fancy chili powder also got me excited about cooking this. I made a side of vegan rye bread packed with as many seeds as the dough could hold without becoming a crumbly mess and it was honestly a really good combo. this recipe and your channel inspired me to go vegan and my parents said it was the best chili they've ever had even without sour cream and cheese toppings (I insisted that they not un-vegan the VEGAN chili that I had spent the whole day making) it's got incredible depth of flavor, i also tied a bundle of cilantro stems and let it simmer with the rest of the chili.

[@mallymakings2853]

FINALLY! Someone else that knows how to cook a “real” chilli! I’m an avid cook myself and honestly, my chilli takes several hours because there’s so many steps in creating layers and depths of flavour. in my opinion, time well spent and it tastes even better the next day. Bravo! Love it. xxx

Why, is it to be different, have people talk about you, belong to a group. Meat is not going to kill you and it taste so good and you know that. If meat were harmful to us, then where did all of the old people come from, you know a huge majority of old people grew up eating meat and to this day still do. I'm talking about lean meat, not a lot of fat and in moderation maybe 3 to 4 times a week, not every freaking day.

I know this isn't in your recipe but it's also amaaaazing to add a few big tablespoons or maybe half a tin of refried beans (or make your own!). Thickens it up nicely, adds more of a deep beany flavour, and more protein for all you protein lovers out there!

[@juliettemathier]

I‘m so happy that you shared this one 🥰 Like about 10-15 years ago, my (meaty) Chili was one of the dishes that made ppl ask me to cook for them on birthdays or similar events ☺️ (I’m still flattered, cooking is a free time passion for me to this day) I‘ve always loved all of the cuisines and am even more eager now to cook/live more plant based. A Chili has always been a „big“ thing to me. Only doing it for several ppl. I am not good at numbers anyways, so breaking „my formula“ down & make it vegan scared me 🙈 I‘m soooo glad you showed me a way - I wholeheartedly trust your recipes! I tried & loved so many 🥰 Thank you for all your hard work! Can‘t wait for your new book 😍 Wishing you & all your loved ones a lovely weekend!

Great job, Nisha! Along with onions, peppers, garlic, and spices, I personally like to add corn, vegan ground “meat”, lentils, veggie broth, kidney and black beans and let it simmer for five or more hours to really bring out the flavors. The last batch of chili I made was SO DELICIOUS and my non-vegan fiancé was over the moon. Sadly he has baby mouth and couldn’t handle the spiciness, but he managed 😂

@@RainbowPlantLife once I first start cooking (after toasting spices and all other ingredients are added) I stir every 20 mins or so for the first couple of hours. If I let it simmer overnight, I check it every 3-4 hours and stir. I also used the Gardein grounds and cooked it with vegan beef stock-it was really good!

Thank you! Haha I definitely wanted to use freshly cooked beans from scratch as I prefer the flavor, but I knew that would turn off most people because there are already some steps involved here.

Some constructive criticism: While I loooove the recipes from your channel, I think some of them are rather time-taking and impractical to make after a work day. For example, the vegan burrito. So I find comparing this extremely detailed recipe of yours to a random recipe on the internet to be slightly unfair. After an exhausting day, I would rather follow a chili recipe where I can throw in ingredients and let it simmer while I unwind than spend 2 hours to get the perfect dish. That being said, on the weekend when I have more time I would LOVE to make this beautiful recipe. All I want to say is that you are an amazing cook and so many of your dishes are my favourite, I just find these comparisons with other recipes unfair. Good luck and much love. Please don't take this message the wrong way, I adore you!

This was so good. I've never had actual chilli though but this vegan version was incredible 😍

I just finished a bowl of this. I don't know if it's the best chili I've ever had, but it's any chili I've ever had. Better than many I've made. I knew 2 jalapenos wouldn't be hot enough, so I also included 2 serrano peppers. It was exquisite. It is a brilliant recipe. Thank you so very much.
