Brrrr ... the temperature in Memphis has dropped from 70 degrees yesterday to a chilly 40 degrees tonight. And it's also drizzling and windy. Ick! The best solution to staying warm on a cold, cold night? A steamy bowl of my Chipotle Chickpea Chili:
This is another one of my cookbook recipes. I developed it last winter, but haven't made it since. After consuming the above bowl a few minutes ago, I'm not sure why I waited so long.
It contains all my favorite chili ingredients: chopped chipotle peppers, cubed tofu, chickpeas, and mushrooms. So tasty! I served it with Garden of Eatin' Organic Corn Chips, the natural version of classic Fritos. If you haven't tried these yet, you gotta pick some up. They're my new favorite chip!
By the way, if you're a tester, this recipe will be up tomorrow on the tester site, along with a couple of others. And for everybody else, I should be back to regular posting now. Sorry I've been so sporadic. I didn't cook much over the holidays, but I have plenty planned for this week.
DIVINE!!
ReplyDeleteChipotle chili sounds perfect! Chipotle is one of my favorite flavors.
ReplyDeleteSilly me, I thought you would totally post this recipe when I saw the title but then I forgot you were testing for the book.
ReplyDeleteDarn it!!!
Let me wipe up my drool...
This looks great! I can't wait for the book to come out!
ReplyDeletegreat! I love chili! Can't wait to make it :)
ReplyDeleteChickpeas in chili sounds freakin' awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteYum! I've been craving something spicy. I adore chipotle.
ReplyDeleteChili when it's chilly is the best! Keep'em coming! :)
ReplyDeleteI made chili yesterday! Definitely one of my favorite winter foods.
ReplyDeleteIt's been on the warm side here lately but we're having a cold front moving in and it's going to be in the 40's which is low enough to keep me inside with a bowl of chili. Your version looks and sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteOh, and did I mention, I'm still drooling over the coconut pie. I love all things coconut and haven't had a coconut pie since becoming vegan.
Can't wait until your cookbook comes out. I'm sad I didn't get a chance to pop by here earlier to sign up to be a tester. :(
wow that looks really good, i want this cookbook!
ReplyDeleteCubed tofu in the chili is a great idea. I can't wait to get the book.
ReplyDeletewe didn't cook a lot over the holidays either - relaxing was the name of the game! ;) so no worries, Bianca! looking forward to more test recipes, too! yay!
ReplyDeletei'm gonna have to check out those organic corn chips - fritos are yummy - but the whole GMO things scares the hell outta me! eek! your chipotle chickpea chili looks amazing - i can't wait to try it! excitedface!
i like chili, and chickpea chili sounds good. i'm super excited about being a tester. my spouse makes a mean chili both traditional veg chili and an awesome faux chix white chili. he veganized it himself from one of ms. rachel ray's recipes.
ReplyDeletecan't wait to test my ass off this week :) actually considering how much i'll be eating, it will be more like building my ass up. hahahah
ReplyDeleteYum. The chili sounds awesome. It is cold here too. Darn Texas weather. It was 65 yesterday and today it is 35.
ReplyDeleteI love chickpeas in my chili - and it's damn cold here, so I think I'll have to make me some!
ReplyDeleteOh my word that looks spectacular! Makes me wish it was cold here in FL so I could (attempt) to make it! Too bad the high today was 83...grr global warming!! :(

ReplyDeleteChili just hits the spot like nothing else sometimes.

ReplyDeleteWhy am I not making chili right now? That sounds like a terrific chili, and I like the idea of a Frito chip in the natural foods isle. I should check those out.
ReplyDeletelooks gorgeous. I'm so cold in the office right now, I could do with a bowl of that!
