If you’re at all like me, you may just now be thinking, what should I serve during the game? Here’s an easy recipe with lots of great veggies. I love to top this chili with muun chi CoCoFir. Add the Kvass just as the chili is cooling for the most beneficial probiotic impact.
3 tablespoons avocado oil
1 large yellow onion, that has been diced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 ½ teaspoons your favorite hot chilis - I like the tiny red ones that are super hot…choose wisely
1 ½ teaspoons ground sweet smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Saute these 7 ingredients until the onions are transparent and soft. You should be smelling some gametime goodness.
Add to this fragrant preparation,
½ medium head cauliflower, chopped into bite size pieces, include the stems
1 (2- to 2 1/2-pound) butternut squash, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (you may choose to roast your seeds for snacking)
Simmer and stir for about 2 minutes
Add
2 1/2 cups cooked beans - garbanzo beans, black beans, kidney beans, adzuki beans….or a blend
4 cups vegetable broth
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste (make sure there is no refined sugars added)
2 tsps muun chi CoCoFir
2 teaspoons kosher salt and black pepper to taste
Let simmer for 30 minutes, allowing the veggies to mingle. Lower to warm and add the muun chi classical Kvass about 15 min before serving. Serve with muun chi CoCoFir and chopped scallions to sprinkle on top. You may also have some grated vegan cheese as well. May your favorite team win! And your gut cheer them along!!! Happy chomping!
