Tempeh Chili

“Beefy” chili with all of the fire roasted flavor and none of the meat, this cozy vegetarian soybean tempeh chili is a warm canvas to personalize with a heaping spoonful of cool yogurt to balance the warm chili spices. Recipe by Danny Seo.

Where to Buy

Prep Time: 10 MINUTES

Serves: 4-6

Cook Time: 35 MINUTES

Ingredients

1⁄4 cup coconut oil
1 (8-ounce) package tempeh, cut into cubes
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbsp chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1⁄2 tsp salt
1⁄2 tsp pepper
1 jar store-bought tomato salsa
1 1⁄2 cups vegetable broth
1 (15-ounce) can diced fire-roasted tomatoes
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 Tbsp Stonyfield Organic Greek plain Whole Milk yogurt (sour cream replacement)
1 tsp scallions, white and green parts, chopped

Instructions

Warm half of the coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the tempeh and brown on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove tempeh and set aside.
Add the remaining oil to a Dutch oven pot. Add the onion and garlic, cover, and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the onion starts to soften. Reduce to a low heat.
Add the chili powder, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute, until well mixed and fragrant. Add your pre-cooked tempeh and stir to coat with spices. Stir in the jar of salsa, fire roasted tomatoes, broth, and beans to the Dutch oven and stir until coated.
Bring just to a simmer; do not boil. Continue to simmer and stir occasionally until beans are heated through and all ingredients are combined well, 10 to 15 minutes.
Garnish the servings of chili with the Stonyfield yogurt and scallions.
