Living Rawesome Day #100 Chili pg. 78 everyday raw THE BEST RAW RECIPE YET!
November 2, 2009
What a way to celebrate my 100th day of doing this project. I made the best chili ever! I am shocked that this resembles chili so much that if I didn’t make it myself, I would think it was cooked. The texture and flavors were outstanding. Jason and I both had two bowls of chili. We both kept looking at each other and were amazed by the flavor. We both kept saying, “I swear this tastes cooked!” This meal is by far the best yet! I could eat it everyday or every other. It is a quick hardy meal. I would say that the “meat” substitute is the carrots and almonds. If you read this blog you really should try to make this!
Chili Ingredients
1 portobello mushrooms, finely chopped
1/2 cup minced celery (I didn’t have any)
1/2 cup red onion (I only had yellow)
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 cup almond, soaked 4-6 hours (I used soaked and dehydrated)
1 cup chopped carrots
Vitamix sauce
1 1/2 cups sun-dried tomatoes, soaked
2 cups water, fresh or from tomatoes soaking liquid
1 T olive oil
1/4 cup nama shoyu (Braggs Liquid Aminos)
1 clove garlic
2 T fresh oregano (I omitted)
1 T dry oregano (I was out of this)
2 t chili powder
1 T cumin
1 T apple cider vinegar
1 T agave
1/4 t cayenne
I pulsed the carrots and almonds in the food processor first. Then added it to the mushrooms, red peppers and onion. I used this “LOVE”ly red bell pepper. A beautiful sign of God’s LOVE!
The remaining ingredients went into the vitamix until smooth. I poured the sauce, stirred it up then it was done!
Final Product. Trust me it is 1000x better than the picture shows:)
Excellent way to celebrate the 100th day! I can’t believe it’s already 100 days of recipes. This is really the most fun I have ever had in the kitchen at my house!
