Spicy Vegetarian Chili

December 14, 2010 by Joy the Baker 147 Comments

You didn’t think I’d show you how to make those delicious Jalapeno Pepper Jack Scones and not show you how to rock them out with some chili, did you!?

Yea… you’ve got some cooking to do.

I’ll leave you to it… besides,  I’m totally busy shopping for cheek stain online.

I manage to throw, darn near, the entire contents of my fridge in my chili.

Beer, barbecue sauce, every vegetable trying to half rot in my crisper, loads of beans and spices by the handful.

The spice below is a steak seasoning.  I know… I’m a cheater.  But it’s so good!  Steak seasoning is full of coarse sea salt, black pepper, garlic bits, sometimes some red chili flakes, and some secret goodness that they don’t list in the ingredients.  I love the little boost this seasoning adds to chili powder and cumin.

Oh… and you can totally put it on steak too.  Duh.

Make some chili.  Make some scones.  Smell up your house.  Warm up your insides.

Rock Your Socks Off Turkey Chili

Spicy Vegetarian Chili

makes a big pot, serves eight

Print this Recipe!

3 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium yellow onion, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

1 zucchini, diced

3 small cloves of garlic, diced

1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeds removed and diced

1 cup beer (or vegetable stock if you like)

3 heaping tablespoons steak seasoning

2 heaping tablespoons chili powder

1 tablespoon cumin

1 teaspoon coriander

1/3 cup barbecue sauce

1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed

1 15-ounce can kidney beans, rinsed

1 15-ounce can garbanzo beans, rinsed

1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes

2 or 3 cups vegetable stock, depending on how soupy you want it.

1 cup corn kernels, frozen

In a large pan over medium flame, heat olive oil.  Add onions and saute until translucent and slightly browned.  Add the bell peppers and zucchini and cook for four or five minutes, until they begin to soften.  Add garlic, jalapeno and all of the spices into the cooking vegetables.  Cook for two minutes.

Deglaze the pan by adding one cup of beer to the hot pan and scraping the bits off the bottom of the pan.  There’s lots of flavor there.  Once the beer has stopped sizzling, add the barbecue sauce, beans, diced tomatoes and vegetable stock.  Bring to a low boil and cook for about 15 minutes.  Add the frozen corn and cook for another 5 minutes.  Serve warm topped with pepper jack cheese.  This chili is delicious the next day… and the day after that too.  Lasts up to six days.

    FYI i have been making this chili for years for veggie and non veggie friends alike and it is ALWAYS a hit. I don’t usually do the beer because my family is Muslim, but i have in the past. It’s great either way. I love how comforting and full of veg it is.

        Hello! Sorry about the scone recipe disappearing, but it is inspired by this recipe from Suzanne at NY Magazine. I’ll link it for you here.

    Really good chili! I didn’t use the bbq sauce but added: 2 oz bittersweet chocolate, dash cinnamon, 3 tablespoons tomato paste and 1 small can tomato juice. Nice complex flavor for vegetarian chili!
