INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Add
the oil and onion to a large, lidded cooking pot. Saute the onion over medium
heat for about 3 minutes.
2.
Add
the chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, basil, chipotle powder, cumin,
oregano, pepper and no-salt seasoning. Add a few splashes of the beer/stock to
deglaze the pan and simmer 3-4 minutes. Reduce the heat slightly and/or add
more if the spices are burning at all.
3.
Stir
in the bell and poblano peppers and the rest of the beer. Simmer about 7
minutes.
4.
Add
the canned tomatoes, maple syrup, soy sauce, salt, liquid smoke and water.
Loosely lid the pot and simmer about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5.
Stir
in the lemon juice, quinoa, black beans, walnuts and corn. Reduce the heat to
medium low, lid the pot and simmer about 50 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add
enough water to make it the consistency you like as you need to.
6.
Serve
with your favorite toppings.
NOTES
· Liquid
smoke is in the barbecue sauce section of your grocery store, and if it’s not
there check the spice/seasoning area. You can also buy it from Amazon. It adds
a smokey wood flavor, which can add some welcome depth of flavor to vegan and
vegetarian recipes.
· You
can use coconut palm sugar, agave, brown sugar or any sweetener you like in
place of the maple syrup.
· If
you love VERY hot chili, consider adding the entire poblano pepper and maybe a
little more chipotle powder.
· The
recipe makes about 12 cups of chili, so you’ll probably have some leftovers.
They’ll keep in a closed container in the fridge for up to a week.
