A few years ago, I had the best chili I ever tasted at Earle Estates Meadery on Seneca Lake. I knew they had made it with honey, so I decided to experiment and see what I could come up with. I think this is just as fabulous, and it's so quick and easy. I bet even meat eaters would have trouble figuring out that it's made with TVP instead of beef. It's a very mild chili, so add some heat if that's the way you like it.

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup dry textured vegetable protein (TVP)
3/4 cup lukewarm water
1/2 tablespoon chili powder, to taste
1 (15 ounce) can red beans
1 (15 ounce) can black beans
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green pepper celery and onion (Hunts)
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon, to taste
1 tablespoon honey, to taste
vegetable broth (for non-vegetarians(if needed) or chicken broth (for non-vegetarians(if needed)

Steps:

  • Combine the TVP, lukewarm water, and chili powder; allow to sit for about 10 minutes to rehydrate.
  • Rinse the beans thoroughly to cut down on the sodium content.
  • Combine the rehydrated TVP, beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, cinnamon, and honey in a large pot; turn heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
  • You may need to add some broth if it gets too thick.
  • Taste the chili and add more honey or spices as desired.
  • Simmer an additional 10-15 minutes, or until it's nice and warm; the time is pretty flexible since you're just heating everything up.
  • This is great served over a baked potato and sprinkled with shredded cheddar soy cheese!
  • You can also serve it on rice or toast, or however you prefer.
