      Why, is it to be different, have people talk about you, belong to a group. Meat is not going to kill you and it taste so good and you know that. If meat were harmful to us, then where did all of the old people come from, you know a huge majority of old people grew up eating meat and to this day still do. I'm talking about lean meat, not a lot of fat and in moderation maybe 3 to 4 times a week, not every freaking day.

    i made this, it took a WHILE but it was absolutely worth it, the fancy chili powder also got me excited about cooking this. I made a side of vegan rye bread packed with as many seeds as the dough could hold without becoming a crumbly mess and it was honestly a really good combo. this recipe and your channel inspired me to go vegan and my parents said it was the best chili they've ever had even without sour cream and cheese toppings (I insisted that they not un-vegan the VEGAN chili that I had spent the whole day making) it's got incredible depth of flavor, i also tied a bundle of cilantro stems and let it simmer with the rest of the chili.

    I‘ve always loved all of the cuisines and am even more eager now to cook/live more plant based. A Chili has always been a „big“ thing to me. Only doing it for several ppl. I am not good at numbers anyways, so breaking „my formula“ down & make it vegan scared me 🙈

    Great job, Nisha! Along with onions, peppers, garlic, and spices, I personally like to add corn, vegan ground “meat”, lentils, veggie broth, kidney and black beans and let it simmer for five or more hours to really bring out the flavors.

    Soy sauce and red wine has been my key to mimicking beef flavors in my vegetarian (everything vegan but the Grueyere cheese) French Onion Soup. I was pleasantly surprised to see a similar technique used here! I definitely want to try this chili out!

    Looks pretty awesome. Though, I confess that I really don't mind the quicker "bean soup" chili recipes. ATK has a pretty good one that cooks up in an hour and provides a week's worth of tasty eats with everyday pantry items. However it's nice to know that there's a good vegan "real" chili recipe for those times when I want to really develop the flavors and knock some socks off!

    Thanks! I’m looking forward to trying some of your techniques and spice advice. I admit I had to hit pause when you turned to canned beans. I’m coping with it…I’ll be OK.
    Costco has a maple syrup aged in bourbon barrels which is so good.
    I will also be using sage instead of bay leaf.
    And I love smoke so I’ll use the grill or liquid smoke.
    Your advice is really going to improve my chili! Awesome techniques! I’m excited to try this!

    • @RainbowPlantLife
      @RainbowPlantLife  2 года назад +1

      Thank you! Haha I definitely wanted to use freshly cooked beans from scratch as I prefer the flavor, but I knew that would turn off most people because there are already some steps involved here. And with the slow simmering and all the other flavors, canned beans actually do a really good job. I’m intrigued by that bourbon maple syrup, I bet that would add a fun depth of flavor!

    Some constructive criticism:
    While I loooove the recipes from your channel, I think some of them are rather time-taking and impractical to make after a work day. For example, the vegan burrito. So I find comparing this extremely detailed recipe of yours to a random recipe on the internet to be slightly unfair. After an exhausting day, I would rather follow a chili recipe where I can throw in ingredients and let it simmer while I unwind than spend 2 hours to get the perfect dish. That being said, on the weekend when I have more time I would LOVE to make this beautiful recipe. All I want to say is that you are an amazing cook and so many of your dishes are my favourite, I just find these comparisons with other recipes unfair. Good luck and much love. Please don't take this message the wrong way, I adore you!

    I'm Lieutenant Commander Baby Mouth lol I will not be using any of those chilies or chili powders or peppers. The easy I get around this is by using an organic taco seasoning mix, taco sauce, mild "southwestern" salsa (it has corns and beans in it), and 3 different beans: pinto, canelinni beans, and (mild) Cuban black beans. I let that bad boy do it's thing and voilà! Chili for the Baby Mouths of the world lol
