Nightshade Free Veggie Chili
This nightshade-free chili is the perfect addition to your cool weather rotation. It's packed with veggies, and free of tomatoes, or any nightshade spices.
Ingredients
- ¾ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp oregano
- 2 tsp dried cilantro
- 1 lb ground beef I recommend 90/10
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- ½ white onion diced
- 1 ½ cup butternut squash peeled cubed
- 1 ½ cup sweet potato peeled and cubed
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup Veggie Pasta Sauce see notes for swaps
- ½ cup canned black beans drained and rinsed
- ½ cup pinto beans drained and rinsed
- Juice of one lime
For topping
- Sliced avocado
- 1 tbsp cilantro chopped
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Combine the seasonings in a small bowl and set aside.
- Using a large, deep cast iron pot set over medium heat, add the ground beef to the pan and season with half of the seasonings. Crumble the ground beef until browned and set aside.
- Add the avocado oil to the pot. Once simmering, add the white onion and saute for 4-5 minutes or until lightly translucent. Add the butternut squash and sweet potato and season with the remainder of the seasoning blend. Saute for 5-7 minutes or until the veggies are lightly fork-tender.
- Pour the broth and veggie pasta sauce over the veggies, and add the cooked ground beef, black beans, and pinto beans. Stir to combine.
- Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer, covering with a tilted lid for about 15-20 minutes, stirring often. Remove the lid and allow to simmer for another 15-20 minutes or until the chili is reduced to your liking and the veggies are very tender.
- Add lime juice to taste, and serve the chili topped with fresh avocado and cilantro.
Notes
Swap the Daylight Veggie Pasta sauce for a homemade sauce. If making this swap, add 2 garlic cloves to the chili recipe.
If making this recipe AIP, omit the black pepper and swap out the beans for about 1/3 lb more of ground beef.
