Good Ol’ Homemade Chili with Black-Eyed Peas
Protein rich and perfect for your burger or your hot dog…vegan of course!
Ingredients
- 1 cup black eyed peas, drained and rinsed (I used freshly cooked, but canned is okay.)
- 1/2 cup onion, finely diced
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth, divided
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 TB coconut sugar or maple sugar (can omit if desired)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- Few drops of Franks’s Red Hot or other hot sauce, if desired
Instructions
- In a medium sauce pan, saute onion over medium heat in a little oil until translucent (or dry saute if desired)
- Add Black-eyed peas. Roughly mash peas with a fork (it’s okay if some peas are left whole) and saute 2-3 minutes;
- Add in 1/4 cup broth.
- Mix together the spices and sprinkle evenly over the onion and black eyed pea mixture. Mix together until spices are combined and broth is absorbed.
- Add ketchup and the rest of the broth.
- Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat, cover and let chili simmer for about 10-15 minutes. If too thick, add more broth as needed.
- Stir in hot sauce, if desired.
- Taste and add additional seasoning as desired. (I generally increase the chili powder and pepper)
