Chili is an easy meal to make and freezes well for future quick meals. Just serve with some fresh bread – or even better, garlic bread. The base is tomatoes, beans, vegetables and some spices but you can choose varying amounts and different beans and vegetables to make it your own!

Food Explorers

November 27, 2019

The Newmarket Food Pantry would like to thank The Hershey Company and Food Banks Canada for providing funding which provided us with the opportunity to deliver the Food Explorers Program this Fall.

The program enabled 7 children aged 9 to 11 to take part in a 7-week program where they learned all about good food choices. Each week was centred around a different topic, such as where food grows, what are good snacks, how to make good food choices and how to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner. The final class allowed the children to invite their families to enjoy a meal prepared and served by them. We would like to also thank the PC Cooking School for facilitating the program for us.

Vegetarian Chili

Ingredients

2 tbsp oil
1 large onion diced
4 cloves of garlic finely minced or ½ teaspoon garlic powder
1-3 tablespoons chili powder more will be spicier
2 tablespoons of cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 – 2 teaspoons of chili flakes the more chili flakes the spicier it will be
2 bell peppers diced
2 medium carrots diced
3 celery stalks diced
2 – 28oz cans of whole tomatoes crushed by you or diced tomatoes and their juice
2 – 15-ounce cans of beans drained and rinsed: kidney and black beans work great!
2 cup of frozen or fresh corn you could use fresh but frozen is easy and works great
Salt to taste

Instructions

Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for about 3 minutes. Add spices and sauté for 1 minute more.
Add the peppers, carrots, and celery and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they just start to soften. Add tomatoes and their juice and bring to a simmer. Once the chili begins to simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low with the lid off.
Continue to cook the chili, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Add beans and corn and let the chili return to a simmer. Cook for 5 more minutes or until the corn and beans have heated through.
Generously salt to taste.
Serve on its own or with brown rice or whole grain pasta.

Recipe Notes

*If you have a slow cooker or crock pot, this is even easier! Just toss everything in the slow cooker, stir, and cook on high for 4 hours or 6 – 8 on low heat!
