Ina MelnyHere is what we create when we crave some homemade chili but don't have hours and hours to spend on cooking. Our no cook chili recipe will win your heart and maybe even burn your tongue.
Even though this recipe is raw, our chili doesn't fall into the typical salad or smoothie bowl category!
Healthy, vibrant, and easy to make.
Should we talk about the most important part of the chili first, the meat? It's pretty easy to make vegan chili meat if you have access to a food processor. We used portobello mushrooms and lentil tempeh as a base. But to be honest, any kind of mushrooms and tempeh would lead the same result.
The second important componet is the tomato sauce. To make it taste fresh and flavorful, we used tomatoes with a sweet and sour note. If you struggle to find seasonal tomatoes we suggest using a good quailty organic canned tomatoes or even a vegan tomato sauce!
The most chillaxed chili recipe ever.
As you probably know, you shouldn't eat uncooked beans. To stick to our

SUBSTITUTIONS
SMOKED SALT
We believe in the smoky flavor in our chili, but if you don't use smoked salt in your kitchen, use a drop or two of liquid smoke. You don't have liquid smoke? Why?
FRESH CORN
Canned corn or baked beans are a great option.
FRESH TOMATOES
Canned tomatoes or vegan tomato sauce of any kind will do.
