Introduction

This vegetarian chili uses some secret tricks to boost the flavor without adding calories!

Ingredients

1 T canola oil
1 large onion, chopped, about 1 cup
1 jalapeno, chopped (optional)
1 large (about 6 ounces) sweet potato, peeled if desired and chopped

2 T ground cumin
1 T chili flakes
2 T dark chili powder
1 T hot or smoked paprika
1 t dried oregano

2 T tomato paste, no salt added


1 (14.5-ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14.5-ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
2 (14.5-ounce) cans petite diced tomatoes, no salt added
2 cups reduced-sodium vegetable broth
1 t Marmite or Vegemite

juice of one lemon, about 3 tablespoons
salt and pepper to taste


Note: Vegemite and Marmite are yeast extracts from Australia and the UK, respectively, that add an incredibly deep, rich flavor to any dish. They taste like a cross between miso and soy sauce, only a little less salty. You could swap miso or a teaspoon of low-sodium soy sauce.

Directions

Heat a large stockpot over medium-high, then add the oil. Add the onions and jalapeno to the pot, and cook for five minutes, stirring often, until the onions are starting to soften. Add the sweet potato and the spices and cook another three minutes, stirring often. Add the tomato paste and cook for two minutes, continuing to stir often. Add the beans, tomatoes, broth and Marmite, stirring just to combine. Cook over medium heat for 30 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are soft.
Makes 8 servings (one heaping cup).
Serve with guacamole and Stepf's Spicy Vegan Quinoa-Cornbread.
