Raw Fiesta Chili

Raw Fiesta Chili 

I was starving when I got home from work this evening, and I desperately needed something nutrient dense, hearty and filling.  This chili may appear light as it is raw and vegan, but don´t be fooled... it is extremely satisfying!  It takes a bit more time than most of my recipes just to chop up all the veggies, but the end result is totally worth the extra effort.

Ingredients (makes 2 whopping bowls)

1 heirloom tomato

2 regular tomatoes

1 bell pepper

2 ears of corn

8-10 mushrooms

1 onion

1-2 cloves of garlic

1 cup water

pinch of salt

pinch of cumin

a sprinkling of raw pistachios over each bowl

Chop all the vegetables into small pieces, cut the corn kernels off the cob, and place everything in a large bowl.  Put about a quarter of the mixture in the blender with 1 cup of water and blend until smooth.  Add to the bowl of chopped veggies and mix well.  Add salt and cumin and stir.  Divide into 2 bowls and sprinkle with pistachios.

I also served some guacamole on the side with lettuce ´chips´

If you are following 80-10-10 (high carb raw vegan), just reduce the amounts of avocado and pistachios.
