This vegetarian chili is a hearty, rib-sticking meal packed with tons of flavor. Poblano peppers are not overly spicy, but they are very flavorful and add a lot of depth to this dish. Cumin and dried oregano are classic chili spices, and a dash of red pepper flakes kicks up the heat a notch. A quick broil of the veggies and spices helps to unlock their fragrance, and softens the onion and garlic. This chili is served over quinoa, a fantastic ancient grain that’s packed with high quality protein. Garnish with a little sour cream for added richness and scallion for a pop of color.

Note: do not add water to your reservoir before broil step

Wine Pairing

Red wines that have a fair amount of acidity and tannins tend to pair well with chili. Robust reds like Malbec, Tempranillo, and Shiraz wont be overwhelmed by the heartiness of the dish and will compliment the cumin and chili in the recipe.
