THE RECIPES
Smoky Tofu and Quinoa Vegetable Chili by @rachelgurjar

Winter nights call for big bowls of hearty stew! A little liquid smoke brings extra depth of flavor and quinoa gives it body without becoming too heavy.

Feedfeed Tip Don’t have liquid smoke? Add smoked paprika to impart a similarly smoky flavor.
