Hippie Pepper Chili Stew image

My quest to find a good vegetarian chili recipe ended with this. It's a combination of a couple of recipes plus some adjustments and additions of my own. My roommate says it is not chili--more like a stew--but still really good, if only I left out the bell peppers. I don't really measure or time my recipes, so this is a bit approximate. Season with salt and pepper every step or two. It's vegan as long as you don't top with the optional sour cream.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno, minced, seeded if you like, depending on preferred heat level
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 -2 tablespoon chili powder
1 dash cumin (to taste)
salt and pepper, to taste
1 zucchini, diced
0.5 (12 ounce) beer, whatever you like
2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 (16 ounce) package lite extra-firm tofu, drained, patted dry, and large-diced
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed or 1 (15 ounce) can any other beans
sour cream (optional)
cilantro (optional)
pickled jalapeno pepper (optional)

tortilla chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Add oil then onion to a large pot and saute a couple of minutes.
  • Add carrot and celery and saute a couple of minutes further.
  • Add green bell pepper, jalapeno, garlic, chili powder, and cumin. Saute a further 5 minutes or so.
  • Add zucchini, beer, and 1 can of tomatoes. Cook until heated through.
  • Add the other can of tomatoes, tofu, and beans.
  • Check for seasoning and simmer a few minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with whatever you like (I like a dollop of sour cream, chopped cilantro, and rough-chopped pickled jalapeno. I like to serve it with a few blue corn tortilla chips and a small warmed flour tortilla.).
