Vegetarian Chili
Vegetarian Chili is American home cooking, eaten at dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre and the protein alongside. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned black beans
- 15 oz canned kidney beans
- 15 oz canned pinto beans
- 28 oz crushed tomatoes
- 1 onion
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 4 garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
How to cook it
- Heat the olive oil in a pot and cook the onion, bell pepper, and garlic until soft, about 6 minutes.
- Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and paprika and cook 1 minute.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, all the beans, corn, and broth.
- Simmer, partly covered, until thick and flavorful, about 40 minutes, then season with salt.
- Serve hot, adjusting the seasoning to taste.

What it is eaten with
Safe at your table
Dinejot tracks ten allergens and tags every one of them by hand. Vegetarian Chili carries none of them. That is a checked answer rather than an ingredient list nobody read.
| Allergen | In this dish | Cook this instead |
|---|---|---|
| Peanuts | No | |
| Tree nuts | No | |
| Dairy | No | |
| Gluten | No | |
| Shellfish | No | |
| Eggs | No | |
| Soy | No | |
| Fish | No | |
| Sesame | No | |
| Coconut | No |
These tags are set by a person rather than inferred from an ingredient list, and they describe the recipe as written here. Read the labels on whatever you actually buy.

When to cook it
Vegetarian Chili takes about 60 minutes from a cold stove to the table, and the cooking itself is a fair bit of work. It is eaten at dinner. It is at its best in the fall and winter, which is when what goes into it is worth buying.
