Ingredients
  

Vegan Pumpkin Beer Chili

  • 1/2 Red Onion diced
  • 4 Cloves Garlic minced
  • Neutral Vegetable Oil for sauté
  • 4 Cups Vegetable Broth
  • 1 1/2 Cups Your Favorite IPA Beer
  • 1 Cup Pumpkin Purée
  • 1 15 oz Can Black Beans
  • 1 Cup Red Lentils
  • 1 Cup Quinoa
  • 2 Tsp Chili Powder
  • 2 Tsp Chipotle Chili Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 Tsp Oregano
  • Juice from 1 Lime
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 2 Tbs Maple Syrup

Garnishes

  • Chopped Scallions
  • Chopped Cilantro

Instructions
 

  • Bring a little neutral vegetable oil to medium heat in a large pot. Add in the onions, and sauté until they're soft - about 5-8 minutes. Then add in the garlic, and sauté for about a minute, until it's fragrant.
  • Then, add in all other ingredients, stirring vigorously to combine.
  • Simmer chili on the stove for 30-40 minutes.
  • When done, taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. IPA beers are usually bitter, so feel free to add more maple syrup to your liking.
  • Serve with chopped scallions and cilantro, if desired.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

A few notes on this recipe:
  • This makes a very thick chili. If you prefer it to be thinner, stir in 1-2 cups of vegetable broth at the end.
  • If you don't like beer, feel free to sub in the same amount of vegetable broth.
  • If you don't have black beans on hand, feel free to sub in the same amount of chickpeas, navy beans, or red beans.
