A succulent vegetable stew full of flavour. This recipe for a lovely zucchini, tomato and soy mince chili can’t go wrong. And it can be easily doubled, or tripled, for vast quantities of goodness.

I provide a reasonable ordering for preparing the ingredients, but it’s just a guideline. Simplified, in this recipe you fry onions, garlic and mushrooms in a pan, then cook everything else in a big pot.

If you want an even stronger flavour, brown the zucchini and carrots in the frying pan before adding them to the pot. Recall, to brown the vegetables add them to the pan, then leave them be until the one side is brown, or seared, and then flip them over. Don’t constantly stir, otherwise, you might as well add them to the pot without frying.

There is no binding agent in this recipe, so you’ll end up with some liquid. Add some tomato paste if this is not to your liking.

Use whatever you’d like for a chili: a mild one to keep it tame, or a whole habanero for the dead cold of winter. You can always eat the chili with sour cream to cool it down.

Enjoy the soy chili recipe.
