Quinoa Chili

Posted on May 29, 2015May 29, 2015 by Andi

I’ve been trying to broaden our food menu and try some new foods. We don’t usually eat much (if any) meat at home, so I have been trying to find some more vegetarian meals that we like. We had some friends over recently, I was in the mood for chili and I had just seen a friend post this yummy Quinoa Chili recipe and her family gave it rave reviews. I was sold!

The house was a little crazy with the kids running around and our guests, so I didn’t take any pictures while I was making it. But you really just throw everything in the pot and cook it up! (Well. You need to cook the quinoa first.) I was pleased it didn’t need to cook for a very long time (like some chilis do) and it was really easy to make. The recipe said to add the corn at the end, but I added it along with everything else since I used frozen corn. I also used petite diced tomatoes because I don’t care for large chunks of tomatoes. And I did add the lime and cilantro (the recipe says they are optional, but why leave them out!?)

The chili was a huge hit and we all went back for seconds, with our friends asking for the recipe. I’m always up for trying a recipe when it comes highly recommended from a friend. If you are looking for a meatless chili, that isn’t overly bean-filled, but will still make you full, try this one!

After four of us had seconds, I was still able to save some for leftovers and still had enough to freeze for another meal! Here’s a picture of the leftovers (when I remembered to take a picture of the meal).
