Veggie Chili

by 14 Comments

vegchili3My family is Catholic and since it’s lent, we don’t eat meat on Fridays. Of course there are millions of fish frys in our area but sometimes you want something other than fish on Fridays. I thought I’d make my mother’s Turkey Chili but use portobellos intstead of the ground turkey and it turned out great!

Veggie Chili Recipe

First you put a little olive oil in a pan and add your onions, peppers and portobello mushrooms. Saute the trio for a few minutes and everything softens. Next you add all your seasonings and cook for a few more minutes to get everything coated and infused. After that you add your tomato products and beans and let it simmer for a while.

When it’s done, we like to eat it over rice but you can eat it as is, or over macaroni too. We also like shredded cheddar and green onions on top. Chili is one of those things that everyone makes different and most of the time they all taste pretty darn good. I hope you make this next time you are trying to have a vegetarian meal and are hankering for some homemade chili.

This vegetarian chili is just as good as meat chili. Using portobello mushrooms you get the same meaty flavor without the meat.
