Tofu Chili with Veggie Cheddar

Makes 3-4 Serving(s)

Ingredients

1 onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cumin, ground
1 teaspoon coriander, ground
1 tablespoon chili powder
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 large can tomatoes, diced with their juice
1 cup vegetable broth
1 block tofu, extra firm, cut into 1/2″ cubes
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 package Veggie Shreds Cheddar Flavor (or simply substitute the Veggie Shreds with your favorite Galaxy product)
Kosher salt and black pepper, as needed

Directions

In a large saucepot or crock pot heated to medium high, add the oil, garlic and onion. Cook for a few minutes until softened and starting to color. Season as needed with salt.

Add the spices, and cook for about half a minute, to allow the ingredients to become fragrant. Add the tomatoes with their juice and the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil and lower the heat to a simmer.

Cook for 20-30 minutes or until all the vegetables are tender and the chili is thickened. Add the tofu and half of the package of Veggie Shreds, stirring to incorporate and continuing to cook for a few minutes to warm the tofu through.

Add the chili to a large casserole or crock pot. Add the rest of the Veggie Shreds to the top of the chili. Place under a hi broiler until the Veggie Shreds are melted and lightly browned.

Chef’s Note: This dish would be great with diced or ground chicken or pork, if desired. Just substitute for the tofu. For a spicier version increase the cayenne to 1 tsp.
