Vegan Tofu Chili
Ingredients
300g block firm tofu
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 red capsicum, finely chopped
1 zucchini, finely chopped
½ teaspoon chili powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cumin
1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed well
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed well
1 can diced tomatoes, no added salt
Salt and pepper to taste
½ bunch coriander, chopped
Method
- To prepare the tofu – Place tofu between paper towels and press to remove excess liquid. Next, using your hands or fork, crumble tofu into small pieces.
- Heat olive oil in a large casserole pot on medium heat. Add the tofu and cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Tofu should turn golden and crispy.
- Add the diced onion, garlic, red capsicum, and zucchini to the casserole pot. Cook for approximately 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Stir in chili powder, smoked paprika and cumin. Next, add kidney beans, black beans and canned tomatoes. Stir to combine all ingredients.
- Allow chili to simmer for 25 minutes, allowing the flavours to develop. You may need a little water or vegetable stock if the chili gets too thick.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- When ready to serve, garnish with fresh coriander.
Serving suggestion: Add a dollop of smashed avocado
