Vegetarian Chili Recipe Con Huevos
While chili is traditionally a dish which does not contain much in the way of vegetables (next to none, in fact, in the traditional Texas version of the dish), but the basic idea of chili is adaptable enough to make even an entirely vegetarian chili a hearty and satisfying dish.
As proof, there is this vegetarian chili recipe. Full of beans, vegetables and more importantly, flavor, it is a meal in itself. It might not make vegans of hardcore carnivores, but it is a chili recipe which even dedicated meat eaters can love.
This recipe is a relatively basic vegetarian chili, but there is a twist in the serving - it is topped with a fried egg and some skillet toasted cherry tomatoes for a splash of additional flavor and a good helping of protein. It is a combination well worth trying; you may be surprised by just how well a sunny side up egg goes with a bowl of chili.
Veggie Chili With Fried Egg And Cherry Tomatoes
Ingredients -
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained
1 (15 ounce) can black beans
3 (28 ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes, crushed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow or red onion, diced
2 green bell peppers, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons dried oregano
¼ cup chili powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
4 fried eggs
4 small bunches of cherry tomatoes on the vine, toasted in a dry skillet
Preparation:
Sauté the onions, garlic, peppers and jalapeno until they become tender, about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the spices and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes to infuse the oil and vegetables with their flavor.
Add the beans and tomatoes and quickly bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered for 30 minutes.
Serve hot topped with a fried egg and a few cherry tomatoes toasted in a dry skillet and enjoy!
(Serves 4)

What is better than a bowl of vegetarian chili? A bowl of vegetarian chili topped with a perfectly cooked sunny side up egg; though if you are not a fan of runny yolks, feel free to have yours over medium or even thoroughly cooked if you prefer. It adds a certain amount of heft to the dish which makes it even more satisfying - and coupled with the bright flavor of toasted cherry tomatoes, it's hard to think of many meals which are much better than this, at least in the world of vegetarian cooking. If you are in the mood for a meatless meal, this is one recipe which you should consider; it just might become a regular at your table.
