This AMAZING Best Instant Pot Vegan Chili (Oil-free) is so easy to make, high plant-based protein, filling, healthy, oil-free and so delicious and meaty! Made with whole foods!

Best Instant Pot Vegan Chili (Oil-free)

(160 grams) finely diced red onion

(15 grams) minced garlic (5 large cloves)

smoked paprika

fine salt & 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

cayenne pepper

water

tomato sauce

maple syrup

liquid smoke

beans chickpeas

quinoa

poblano pepper (so

Lemon Cream Sauce (the perfect balance to the spiciness)

cilantro

red onion

To a small bowl, add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt and pepper and cayenne (if using) and whisk well. Set aside.

Add 1/4 cup water to the instant pot and press the saute mode for 8 minutes. Cook the red onion for around 5 minutes, stirring often until the onions become brown and caramelized. Lots of flavor! Add tiny amounts of water as needed to prevent sticking.

Add the garlic and cook another minute, stirring often.

Add the bowl of pre-mixed spices and stir for about 30 seconds to lightly toast the spices and absorb any residual moisture.

Add the 2 1/2 cups water, tomato sauce, syrup, liquid smoke, beans and quinoa (or buckwheat) and stir well.

Seal the pot and cook on high pressure by selecting either manual or pressure cook and set the time to 5 minutes. Please note that it takes about 8-10 minutes before the IP will come to pressure and start the actual cooking. It will beep once it begins the 5 minutes cooking. So, keep an eye so you don&#039;t overcook.

After the 5 minutes of cooking, do a manual quick release of any remaining pressure, using a pot cover to protect your hand. 

Give the chili a stir and let it sit around 5 minutes. It will seem a tad thin at first but thickens as it sits. It will thicken some and cool down more to eat.

Taste and add any more salt if needed. I found 3/4 teaspoon to be absolutely perfect. Add cayenne pepper if more heat is desired. Top with desired toppings. I added vegan chao shredded cheese, fresh jalapenos. The Lemon Cream Sauce is also a wonderful addition to the spicy chili!

This simple and comforting recipe is perfect for lunch or dinner on the go. No-Meat Chili Macaroni is a classic that will never die!

No-Meat Chili Macaroni

onion (finely chopped)

Black Pepper

lb ground soy (like Yves)

tbsp parsley

salt and pepper (to taste)

garlic (crushed)

(1.36 l tomato juice)

tomato

macaroni

mozzarella (shredded)

Fry the onion and pepper in a pan. Add the ground soy and separate into small pieces.

Add the spices as well as the garlic.

Add tomato juice, just enough to cover the ground soy. Simmer until the juice has been absorbed.

In another saucepan, cook the pasta.

Add the rest of the tomato juice and the diced tomato to the ground soy mixture and continue to simmer for 15 minutes.

Once the pasta is cooked and drained, add the tomato and soy mixture.

Add cheese and mix well.

Serve.

If you love carrot/veggie dogs and burgers but miss topping them with chili, I think you're about to do a happy-dance! This quick Chili Vegan Recipe is simmered with spices and onions and can be made in minutes. Links to Vegan Chili Cheese Fries and Black Bean Burgers also included.

Vegan Chili Recipe for Burgers & Veggie Dogs

onion (diced)

veggie broth

dry uncooked bulgur ((or 2 cups cooked)*)

ketchup

onion powder

garlic powder

salt

cayenne pepper ((optional for spice))

In saucepan, saute diced onions in approximately 3 Tbsp of the veggie broth. As they brown and begin to caramelize, add more veggie broth 1 Tbsp at a time. Allow to caramelize well.

Add all other chili ingredients, stir well, and simmer for approximately 10-15 minutes. Cover and turn heat down to warm or off. Chili is basically done and ready to be eaten.

*NOTE: If you already have pre-cooked bulgur (2 cups) in the freezer that you would like to use, simply omit the veggie broth/water except for about 1/2 a cup, and cook for only 5 minutes. 

Add to carrot dogs, veggie and black bean burgers, vegan chili cheese fries, or anything else you can think of. Black bean burger and vegan chili cheese fries recipe links below.

Tried this with our first carrot dogs and it was a good addition. Thanks!

I must thank Terri for introducing me to bulgar!!  It is a great ground beef substitute for those of us getting used to leaving off meats.  We've been WFPB for 3 years, but there are still times we miss the meaty texture that this bulgar is great at mimicking!!  The chili recipe is great &amp; we highly recommend it!

Made this on Monday and used no-salt added tomato sauce...it came out perfect! So delicious on carrot dogz. Thanks again Terri!
