Ingredients
- 800 g Chopped tomatoes Two cans
- 5 tablespoon Tomatoes puree
- 1 tablespoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 20 g Dark chocolate I used Lindt 70%
- 200 g Smoked tofu
- 3 Bell peppers I like to use one of each color if available
- 255 g Red kidney beans 1 Can
- 260 g Green lentils 1 Can
- 285 g Sweet Corn 1 Can
- 2 Red onions
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200 °C (392 °F)
- In a large oven-safe tray add diced onions and garlic and bell peppers
- Add drained kidney beans, green lentils, and sweet corn
- Grate the block of smoked tofu using a grater and add it to the rest of the ingredients. I highly recommend roasting the grated tofu in the air-fryer for a more chewy, meaty texture for 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl add the chopped tomatoes, tomatoes puree, and the rest of the spices and stir until well combined into a delicious salsa
- Add the salsa in the baking try on top of the veggies and grated tofu and stir everything till well combined
- Cover the tray with a sheet of aluminum foil and transfer it into the preheated oven
- Bake everything for one hour and a half stirring after every half hour
- Before the last 30 minutes add the dark chocolate and stir it well until the chocolate is melted and well combined in the chili mixture
- Transfer it back to the oven and bake for the last 30 minutes without the aluminum foil cover until the chili is bubbling and the vegetables are tender
- Remove the chili from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving
Notes
Serve this delicious chili con carne (sin carne) with whole brown rice or cooked quinoa (for extra proteins) garnished with cilantro, slices of avocado, or vegan yogurt if desired.
Enjoy!
