Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 small eggplant, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
4 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 28-ounce can diced fire-roasted tomatoes
1 16-ounce can kidney beans in mild chili sauce
1 14-ounce block firm tofu, drained
1 1/2 cups frozen fire-roasted corn kernels
Sliced avocado, shredded Mexican cheese blend, chopped fresh cilantro and corn chips, for topping

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, eggplant, a big pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are lightly browned and starting to soften, about 6 minutes. Stir in 1 more tablespoon olive oil, the garlic, chili powder and cumin and cook, stirring, until the spices are toasted, about 1 minute. Stir in 2 cups water, the tomatoes, beans, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover and bring to a boil, then uncover and reduce the heat to a simmer; cook until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, grate the tofu on the large holes of a box grater onto a clean kitchen towel (not terry cloth). Gather up the sides of the towel and wring the tofu dry. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu, spreading it out; cook, stirring once or twice, until well browned and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir the tofu and corn into the chili and heat through, 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Thin the chili with water, if needed.
  • Divide the chili among bowls. Top with avocado, cheese, cilantro and corn chips.

I'm not sure why this recipe is called 'summer vegetables chili'. I made it in the winter and it was just as delicious.
