My latest creation for the fiance to take with him to work, with 25% of the RDA for protein in the form of beans and quinoa (a super-yummy whole grain!). Throw in some stout beer and a dash of cocoa and a very filling, flavourful meal is yours!

OMG! YOU ROCK! I've been looking for a good vegan chili. My brother is vegan and when he comes over for dinner, I have to bang my head for recipes that would fit his diet. thank you so much!!


This sounds awesome!


I like this recipe. It's similar to something I do. I going to try yours. I'm sure it's going to be great!


This looks really tasty. I can tell by the spices that are in the chili. Oddly enough I just bought some cubanel's today which I've never had. Very similar spices are in cincinatti chili which is my favorite chili. I will have to go and buy some quinoa now! never had that either.


What is stout beer? Is that alcoholic? If so, what can be used to replace it?


Stout beer is a dark alcoholic beer, you can use beef stock or vegetable stock but it won't have the same flavour.


Ooooohhh! This sounds wonderful. Never had quinoa, either, so I will definitely need to try. Thanks for sharing!


Hey Jo_Jo_Ba, I hope you don't mind that I added this to a group I just started for quinoa fans.


No problem! many thanks.


Whats a cubanel pepper?


They're sweet green peppers that are long and pale. Swap in regular green peppers.


This sounds fantastic. Cocoa! and Beer! in the same recipe!! How great is that!
Going to try this soon.
Love sitbynellie


Hmmm.... an little diffrent.

Baby carrots are sweet in flavor but do not taste like carrots. Try it with normal carrots.
