Notes:

  • About the Beans: Think of the beans in this recipe as suggestions. You can use any 3 types of canned beans you like!
  • We love making this with black eyed peas sometimes. Red beans are also lovely. Use what you have!
  • About the Riced Cauliflower: Whether you use fresh or frozen, the riced cauliflower adds a bit of a meaty texture to this chili. The cauliflower taste is very well-masked by the seasonings, so don't worry if cauliflower isn't your thing.
  • Topping Ideas: sliced avocado, pickled jalapenos,  Garlic Cashew Cream Sauce  or vegan sour cream, vegan cheese shreds, chopped green onion, and tortilla chips.
  • Cooking time is for the Instant Pot. Cooking it on the stove will take an extra 10 minutes.

Method

To Make on the Stovetop:

Check on the chili occasionally, adding a splash of water or broth, if it looks dry. This will depend on how well your pan's lid seals.

    Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve with your favorite chili toppings (see note)!

To Make in the Instant Pot:
