Get-Up-N-Go Chili (Vegan)

"I make this when I'm feeling run down--it's chock-full of potassium, vitamin C and protein. Increasing or decreasing the spice level is easy--use a hotter or milder chili powder, more or less jalapeno, different varietals of bell pepper. Freezes well."

  1. Delicious and spicy. Made heaps! I used 2 jalapenos, a small red thai chilli, and about 2 cups 'sweet' horn chillies instead of peppers. Only 1 & 1/2 tsp hot chilli powder, some paprika and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa. The heat level was perfect for me, with a good kick! Neglected the TVP, but will use next time for extra texture. I will make this again, thanks for posting!
     
  2. Used 1/2 jalepeno, no lentils on hand so used 1/2cup brown rice, reduced amount of chili pepper used to 2 teaspoons...overflowing maple syrup tablespoon but it was still a little too spicy. Will make again but tone it down some more. Forgot the TVP but it was fine without it.
