Rice Chili Stew topped with 1/4 avocado
I’ve been playing around with this recipe for the last couple of weeks and am finally happy with this version that I’m posting. It was fun learning lots of different ways not to make it. For instance, don’t use too many tomatoes; make sure to add enough beans; don’t cook the rice for too long; cook the ‘sauce’ for longer than the ‘meat’. Of course, there’s no actual meat in this. When you take a look at the recipe, you’ll see what I mean.
People sometimes say to me “You won’t get enough protein on a vegan diet” This just tells me they don’t have a clue about plant positive nutrition and bean power!

Notes
Serve the chili as soon as the cooking cycle finishes, otherwise the rice will continue to absorb the liquid and turn a bit mushy.
