2 Chefs Vegan Chili
Working as private chefs, we specialize in cooking menus with each client’s likes, dislikes, and dietary needs in mind. Some of our clients are vegetarian or vegan, so we’ve created this vegan chili to please everyone.
The vegan Chili recipe is so delicious that even our meat-loving clients don’t notice that it’s completely meat-free, since the quinoa adds that thick richness of a protein-based chili. Serve this on your next meatless Monday or on any cold night of the week.
