Meaty TVP Chili
Serves: 6 • Total Time: 10 -- 45 mins • FODMAP Rating: High
This recipe is a spin off of our Meaty Tofu Chili found in our seasonal meal guides (developed by Faith--one of our amazing recipe creators). It makes it a lot faster to use TVP instead of tofu and it has the exact same texture of beef. No one will even notice that it isn't beef or ground turkey and it is a lot more heart healthy! Be warned, you will get very full on very few calories when you eat a bowl of this TVP chili! I bought my TVP on Amazon right here. And the bag lasts a long time!
Ingredients
1 onion, diced (red or white)
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoons cumin
1 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons oregano
1/4 teaspoons cayenne (optional)
1.5 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1.5 cups vegetable broth (or water)
1 15-oz can tomato sauce
1 15-oz can petite diced tomatoes
1 can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 lime, juiced (or splash of red wine vinegar)
TVP "Beef" Crumbles
1 cup TVP
1 cup Water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
Instructions
Start TVP crumbles first by adding the TVP, water, soy sauce, and nutritional yeast together in a small bowl and let sit for 10 minutes while you mix the rest of the chili together over the stove.
Saute the onion in a splash of water until soft. Add garlic, spices, and tomato paste, and saute a few minutes more. Add all remaining ingredients, and let it simmer on low. You can add the TVP and eat right away or you can let it all simmer for about 30 minutes for flavors to develop.
Stir in the TVP crumbles. Taste and add additional chili powder or cayenne for heat, salt, maple syrup, etc. until it's perfect to you.
Optional: garnish with Cilantro.
