====== Seitan Chili ======

This was a recipe modified from [[https://www.thewholesomedish.com/the-best-classic-chili/]] to be vegetarian and also not use 5 different types of tomatoes, although if you are feeling fancy you should totally add other forms of tomatoes (such as fresh ones). Serve with rice and/or bread:

======Ingredients======

  * 1 tablespoon olive oil
  * 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  * 1/2 bell pepper, diced
  * 1 jalapeno pepper (optional)
  * 1 pound seitan/tofu crumbles
  * 2 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
  * 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  * 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  * 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  * 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  * 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  * 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional)
  * 2 cups vegetable broth
  * 2 cans tomato paste
  * 1 (16 oz.) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed

======Instructions======

  - Add the olive oil to a large soup pot and place it over medium-high heat for two minutes. Add the onion and peppers. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  - Add the seitan or tofu crumbles. Break it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 2-3 minutes stirring occasionally.
  - Add the chili powder, cumin, sugar, tomato paste, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and optional cayenne. Stir until well combined.
  - Add the broth and drained beans. Stir well.
  - Bring the liquid to a low boil. Then, reduce the heat (low to medium-low) to gently simmer the chili, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  - Remove the pot from the heat. Let the chili rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
