Meatless Chili with Red Cabbage

January 9, 2015 by Michael Smith Leave a Comment

I came home from work one night a few weeks ago, and my partner had this super tasty and filling chili waiting for me. It was perfect, because it had been (and still is!) so cold lately. Sometimes you just need something warm and hearty. I hope you enjoy this recipe. My partner is a great cook and has taught me a lot about cooking over the years. He has taught me to be creative in the kitchen, and that recipes don’t have to followed exactly.

The ingredient list looks long, but this recipe is very easy. Just throw everything into a pot. You can tweak the ingredients based on what you have on hand. We enjoyed this chili over brown rice, and after our meal we mixed the leftover rice into the rest of the chili. The next night we enjoyed it with tricolour quinoa, again mixing the leftover quinoa into the chili. It was great both ways!

If you tend to get gassy after eating cabbage, try chewing a pinch of two of caraway seeds before your meal. My partner and I have been doing this lately with great results (aka no smelly gas). You’ll also be surprised at how fresh the caraway seeds make your mouth feel.
