Vegetarian Tofu Chili Recipes
HEARTY VEGETARIAN TOFU CHILI
This is a delicious colourful chili with a perfect blend of many vegetables with tofu in a thick spicy tomato base. This original recipe came from Runner's World magazine, although I have altered it to suit my likings. Frying tofu gives it a more meat like texture. For those who like chili very spicy, more chili powder may be added.

Steps:
- Leave your tofu in the freezer until frozen (overnight), then allow it to thaw naturally on the side. When it's soft, place your tofu into a tofu press and leave the excess liquid to drain thoroughly before preparing your homemade vegetarian chili.
- Pour oil into a large skillet or large pot on the stovetop and turn the heat to medium.
- Dice your onions and peppers, then saute them in the heated oil until they start to soften.
- Mince your garlic cloves and mix them with the onions and pepper. Take your block of tofu and crumble it into the skillet.
- Pour in your chili powder, cumin powder, paprika powder, and ancho chile powder. Mix all your ingredients together.
- Give your vegetarian chili with tofu a taste, then add in cayenne pepper powder as per your tastes. If you like your spiced tofu extra hot, then keep adding cayenne pepper!
- Cook all the spices and ingredients in the skillet for another 5 minutes before turning down the heat.
- Next, add your cans of tomatoes, black beans, and kidney beans to the mix. Pour in your vegan ale and add some tomato paste to thicken the chili tofu. Keep stirring, then allow your vegan chili with tofu to simmer for at least 30 minutes. You can keep it simmering for longer to thicken the sauce up. Alternatively, if it's too thick, just add a splash of water to the skillet while it's simmering.
- Towards the end of the simmering process, add your corn to the dish and stir through. Take another taste, and add more cayenne pepper powder and salt and pepper as you like. Allow to simmer for another 2 minutes, then turn off the heat.
- Allow to rest, then serve your freshly cooked vegan tofu chili to your hungry family and friends!

- Unwrap the block of tofu, drain and pat it dry with paper towels. Then add two layers of dry paper towels to a sheet pan. Cut the tofu into a few pieces and place them on the towels to dry out even more. Set aside.
- Coat the bottom of a large pot with olive oil (ideally a 5-quart Dutch oven). Place it over medium-low heat and add the onion and garlic. Stirring often, cook until everything is nicely caramelized, about 15 minutes.
- Press down gently on the tops of the tofu pieces with more dry paper towels — you want it as dry as possible. Then crumble the tofu into small pieces, and add it to the pot with the onion. Turn the heat to medium and brown the tofu. Again, stirring often. This should take about 10 minutes. (You can ad a bit more oil at this point if the bottom of the pan is dry.)
- Add the chipotle peppers in adobo, chili powder, oregano and cumin to the pot and stir. Cook until it’s very aromatic, about 30 seconds.

THE BEST VEGAN CHILI EVER!!! • IT DOESN'T TASTE LIKE CHICKEN
From itdoesnttastelikechicken.com
- For the Chili: Add the olive oil to a large pot and heat over medium-high heat. Add in the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent and just begins to brown. Add in the tomatoes, beans, water, and all of the spices. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer and continue to simmer for 1 hour. If the chili gets too thick, just splash in more water to reach desired consistency.
- For the Tofu: In the meantime, preheat your oven to 350F (180C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or lightly grease the pan.
- Mix nutritional yeast, soy sauce, and olive oil together in a large bowl. Open and drain the tofu (no need to press it), then break off chunks and crumble with your fingers into the bowl. Do this with all of the tofu until you have a large bowl of crumbles. Stir the tofu crumbles well making sure all of the tofu is evenly coated in the nutritional yeast mix.
- Spread the tofu mixture evenly over the pan. Bake for about 45 mins, stopping to stir the tofu every now and then. Keep a close eye on it towards the end so that it doesn't burn. You want the tofu to be nice and browned. The smaller crumbles will be darker than the larger crumbles, and that's ok because it will provide a variety of texture.
