I'm a vegetarian monster that refuses using beer. Help me with makin veg chili.

I'm enjoying which is pretty much slow cooking those dull chili starter bottles with 1 can o chickpeas with 2 black beans and sometimes red kidney beans. I toss in soy chorizo and 8oz of hatch valley salsa. Then I ether toss in whatever mushrooms catch my eye Bella or button, and sometimes cubed drained tofu that I baked a bit beforehand.
Tempeh grated into a fine dust works as filler and once in a blue moon I throw in some diced carrots. I slow cook the whole batch over 12 to 24 hours on low and stir and add some water as needed.
I enjoy what comes out as a bitter decent heat chili but I'm just getting bored with it after a few years of it.

Anyone have a kickass vegetarian chilli without beer that I can slowcook?

I know a guy who makes some banging veg chili where he subs cashews for the meat. That is about the only modification to standard chili protocols.

Whoa. I'll do that.

why not ditch the lovely fake meat stuff and just go all in on beans and veg? I'd also cut the carrots too imo. Carrots are great but not meant for chili. If you want natural sweet, just up the amount of onions. You could also use some soda in place of beer as well.

Shrooms are great in chili, and you can mince them up a lot to mimic ground beef/slow cooked beef that falls apart. I've done veg chili for hippie siblings and that's generally what I stick with.

Also, I would think 12 hours, much less 24, is way excessive when you're not cooking any meats to break down.

Portabella fell apart bad when slow cooked but the button mushrooms did not. The tempeh ground up just thickens it up a bit while being healthy, its a filler.
What shrooms ya recommend?

Tasty yes.
Dad sent me a bottle of "poo poo the Bed" hot sauce and put half the bottle in there. Good flavor heat as well.

Dehydrated beans, how do I not gently caress this up? Can I soak it with flavorings or will the overnight soak demand water and just gently caress up, "not pure water"? I was thinking vegetable broth and or spices nothing acidic.

The soaking them forever thing, seems to be old hat. So I did a quick wash/boil and added them to a slow cooker for 9 hours on low with spices and a few dryed chilis. Then pureeing half the beans, and adding the norm stuff after that. I'll report how it goes.

OK so the don't soak the beans just rinse/boil/rinse slowcook with veg broth or I suppose meat broth is magic. Its got a good bean flavor and the juice is delish. I slow cooked them with diced sweet onions, dehydrated chilis and spices. Then for the end salsa and soy chorizo. A+

Buy dehydrated beans dont overnight soak em, jus boil em drain em blend half an toss them in after you slow cook the rest. That is if you're using an acidic base since beans dont cook well in that.

I'll give that a shot, my oven isn;t too bad, just runs on gas. Though I'd rather use it for a few hours than have to buy a dehydrator. Wouldn;t use that thing for anything else.

1/3 cashews
1/3rd dehydrated beans:black,garbanzo, whatever
1/6th cheap rear end sala (i try just about all kinds)
1/6th fake meats(tempeh, tofu, fake ground beef

Add habanero powder:to taste
Add some other chili powder seasonings
1 baby can of that Adobo sauce
1 soy chorizo (or not)

Start with slow cooking overnight dehydrated beans on low, add a few inches of water over them. Caution adding too little water is bad adding too much is kinda impossible.
You can add the cashews too, why not now?

Go to bed

Next morning add garbanzo beans from a can because I think I dreamt that dehydrated garbanzo beans are real.

Stir it up. Add seasonings cover whole mess with fake meats an cover entire thing like it's a lasagna with like 1 cm of salsa (your fav cheap salsa, don't use sala you hate but keep it simple)

Did you remember to pick up that soy chorizo from trader joes? toss that in now.

Add that baby can of chipotle with adobo sauce on top and don't stir it in
Make sure there is enough water in that it's like a cm from the top.

Put it on for like another ten hours on low and open a window your house smells like chili take a nap with a window open.

After a few naps stir up the chili around the chipotle adobo on top and open some more windows your eyes are starting to burn (sometimes I use some ground up ghost peppers now)

Take a cocktail fork and fish the chipotle on top out of the chili because jesus christ eating those make my friends gently caress up a toilet like a litter box. Leave as much of the sauce in as possible though that's good stuff.

20 hours later you should notice the whole pot is turning a few shades darker and the cashews are soft.

Take a half a cup of dark roast coffee and toss it in add like a few tablespoons of agave to taste and you are done!

Its pretty dang good hot, its amazing the next day cold, right out of the refrigerator

I call it Insufferable Vegetarian Chili, It might be vegan I don't know I'm not a doctor

Dehydrated beans with a few inches of water over the bean line with cashews for 75 mins in a pressure cooker on manual will result in perfect beans and buttery magic cashews. After that I add soy chorizo + adobo sauce and my seasoning + a bunch of salsa and any Textured Vegetable Protein mix it up good and turn the pressure cooker back onto a chili setting for 45 minutes.
End result is pretty loving tasty.
My seasoning is Ghost, habanero,and cayenne pepper powdered up.
