MM Veggie Chili

MM Veggie Chili is a version of my signature vegetarian chili. If you want to increase the heat, add more sambal. Add a half cup of cooked short-grain brown rice to put this in the "Reset Blue" category. You can also add a sprinkle of Cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, or a slice of avocado.

Chef's Notes

NOTES : This chili is perfect for the "green" category of the 28-Day Reset. To make it "blue," serve over short-grain brown rice and garnish with cheddar, sour cream, or avocado.
