You’ll swear there’s meat in this chili!

Veggie Chili
1 Tbs. olive oil
1/2 med onion, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1-2 jalapeno peppers, chopped
1-2 medium sized zucchini, chopped
1/2 lbs frozen corn (thawed in microwave)
1/2 lb. sliced mushrooms
2 cans black beans, drained & rinsed well
1 (15 ounce) cans crushed (or diced) tomatoes
1/2 small can tomato paste
1 (15 ounce) can water (or beef broth)
1 sm.can “Rotel” tomatoes (in the canned tomato section – it’s tomatoes mixed with chilies) Ok to omit if you can’t find them – or use jarred salsa instead)
1 Tbs. brown sugar (or a little less - to taste)
1 Tbs. chili powder
½ t. cayenne pepper
1/4 t. oregano
1/4 t. coriander
1/4 t. salt
1/4 T. cumin
1/4 T. cocoa powder
1/2 (12 oz.) can beer
1/4 c. brewed coffee

In large pan, heat olive oil. Saute the onion, red pepper, jalapeno peppers for 5-7 minutes until soft. Add zucchini, corn, and mushrooms. Simmer until all vegetables are soft and most of the liquid has evaporated. Add tomatoes, beans, etc. (all remaining ingredients) Simmer for 1-2 hours.

Interesting! I've been looking for some veggie meals that my husband could be confused by, like this. He's not big on veggies. I'll have to leave out the hot peppers (for me!), but I might try this soon.

Sounds totally yummy. The only change I would make would be to add the corn in at the last minute. I have a ground buffalo and veggies stew recipe that is the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day, and I have found that not over-cooking the corn adds a satisfying texture and freshness to the dish.

I love chili and I've had some really good veggie chili. This one's got some unusual ingredients - I'll have to add it to my must-try list!
