Two Bean Vegan Mexican Chili
I am starting to notice I use a lot of spices in my recipes. It is all good.
I believe there are two reasons that I have upped the amount of spices in my recipes. One good, and one, not so good. The good is that imparting flavor in layers in your dishes develops so much flavor. The not so good is that some of my spices have been in my spice cabinet a pretty long time. So they have lost a little bit of there oomph. I have started by whole spices now and grind them before each use. So doing ensures you get the full punch out of your spices.

I just went pack to my ingredient picture to count the number of ingredients used in this recipe. Guess how many? I used 17 ingredients including 7 spices. Is that a lot? This Two Bean Vegan Mexican Chili is so hearty and so satisfying. Serve it to your carnivore and see if he needs a late night snack. The base of the chili is the kidney and black beans. Some more body is created with the addition of tomatoes, onions, carrots and peppers. I actually used 2 cuts on the carrots. I shredded the carrots for body. I spiced up the chili by adding a few, maybe more than a few Thai red chilies.
Chili recipes can come in many forms. I researched my blog for prior ideas and found this turkey based ANCHO CHILI WITH FARRO. Here is one I made for a joint Cajun/Creole post I did years ago with the CREOLE CONTESSA. It is a creamy CREOLE CHILI. The last one I am sharing is another VEGAN CHILI. I used vegan sausage and I have to say I need to try some other brands to find satisfying alternative.
