Invite the neighbors over for a pot of spicy vegetarian chili.

Serves 8

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. canola oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 (15-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup uncooked bulgur
  • 2 serrano chili peppers, chopped (seeded if you prefer less heat)
  • 2 cups frozen corn
  • 1 Tbsp. chili powder
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. salt, plus more to taste

Directions


Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic and onions and sauté until soft, about 4 minutes.

Add all other ingredients, plus 4 cups water, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 30 minutes, until bulgur is soft. Serve immediately.
