Traditional Vegan Chilli (For Slow Cooker)

KristinV's Note:

Adapted from a recipe with meat to be vegan. Plenty of protein. Add any vegetables you want to further boost the fibre content! I usually serve over mashed potato for true comfort food!

• Total Time: 9 hrs 15 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 9 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1 ½ cups textured vegetable protein
• 1 large onion (finely chopped)
• 1 (400 g) can chopped tomatoes
• 1 green chilies (finely chopped)
• ½ red capsicum (green)
• 1 (400 g) can tomato puree
• ½ cup water
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
• 1 carrot (peeled and diced)
• 1 zucchini (peeled and sliced)
• 1 (450 g) kidney beans

Directions:

1. Cover TVP with stock water (vegetable stock to keep it vegan but if you can get vegan beef flavoured stock, such as Massel here in Australia, use that).
2. Combine all ingredients EXCEPT kidney beans in the slow cooker and mix well.
3. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours.
4. Add Kidney Beans and continue to cook for 30 minutes.

This is so awesome. So easy to make. I added two cans of corn, some okinawan sweet potato and two cans of beans per my bf matt's request for the second attempt.
