I applaud you for promoting Meatless Mondays, but WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE IS NOT VEGETARIAN. Jeez. Check the label. It has anchovies in it. And yes, that includes the exact brand Meg is using. I have used "Thick and Hearty" A1 sauce and hot sauce and extra spices in place of worcestershire sauce in recipes. Anyway, the recipe sounds great minus the worcestershire sauce and plus some TVP crumbles for added protein and yum. A for effort, Threadbanger.
IDK if this has been pointed out or not, but Worcestershire Sauce isn't vegetarian, it has fish in it (vegetarians don't eat fish, fish is an animal, and therefore meat)
When using canned foods (like beans or veggies) make sure not only to drain, but to rinse them. You take about 40% of the sodium away by rinsing them.
I am full time vegetarian (still cannot aford organic food, though it might have something to do with my life attitudes :-)), so I was really pleasantly surprised to find this recepi on "Decor It Yourself". Thank You so much :-).
Tofu is great in chili. Another way to cut down on the hormone and antibiotic overload is ditch the cheese and dairy. Im not telling you to cut it out all together but, if you cut it out every once in a while you will help your body and mother earth plus those cows.
@Bccaundefined I am a bit afraid to cut meat and dairy, are you sure one wouldn´t lack some important stuff? -I have problems to get all the right minerals and vitamins from my food as it is.., what do you recon? Thanks.
@finehomemadewine It really depends on what you need most. If its iron (I personally am iron deficiant) it can be subbed by green leafy veggies. you can look these up. I am a bit of a novice right now so I'm just kind of looking things up and subbing as I go. Sorry I'm not much help.
@finehomemadewine You won't lack anything at all if you just eat right. You can get protein from nuts, beans, darkgreen vegetables, tofu and soya meat. (Which is fake meat made from soy beans, very tasty.) (:
I really hope you will try it out, being a vegetarian is better for you, the earth and our animals. <3
She doesn't understand supply and demand at all. The more you buy, the more expensive it'll be. Everyone knows that. Also Worcestershire sauce has anchovies in it.
I made this! it was so good! except I added bacon.... everyone got a kick at work that I was eating vegetarian/bacon chili! just sayin' it was even good on day 4. we got 10 bowls out of this recipe. well we added less broth and more veggies. thanks!
I was a vegeterian for 11 years but was having serious lack of protein and so I had to eat meat. I think its ok to eat white lean meat, just not every day of the week. Oily fish is a good source of protein as well.
I also cook chopped Kale separately for a good 40 min and add to chili, spaghetti, lasagna and anything else I can sneak it into. It's super good for you.
You could also add TSP to your chili. You should definitely check out The Renegade Health Show for more great raw/vegetarian/vegan recipes and health info. I'm no faw foodist, vegetarian, or vegan by any means, but the information is great to help put you on track with a healthy diet.
I know it's been mentioned in former comments, but Worcestershire sauce contains anchovies. So for vegetarians or vegans, I'd suggest Kosher, as it's fish-free, or making your own homemade recipe, which is super easy to find online.
Just so everyone knows, there are brands of Worcestershire sauce that don't contain any animal products. I'm a soy-free vegan (woo to not supporting Monsanto, but upsetting because my lack of Chinese food). Meg, the chili looks awesome except... where's the chili powder? it doesn't seem like it would be near spicy enough for me haha. I have many fave dishes. I can't choose just one. Shepherd's pie made with lentils and marmite gravy, Bruschetta, chole palak, mesir w'et, to name a few.
Even though I would like to eat less dairy and eggs too, it's bloody hard to do so, and I'm a little worried I won't get all the nutritions I need, such as protein, iron and vitamin B12.
Since a few months, I'm cutting back on eating meat. I do it because it's healthy and it helps me losing weight (much meat = calorie bomb!). A while ago, I started with eating "meat replacers" at some days of the week. But during the last weeks, I only eat meat about three times a week. And when I eat it, I eat just a little bit.
Even though I have been a huge lover of meat, I begin to like the taste of meat less and less. I think that's a "psych effect" of my way of healthy living.
I've been vegetarian for about 3 years now, and recently one of my vegan friends and I have started baking together, our new favorite recipe is a banana chocolate chili spelt muffin, its great and vegan, to replace the dairy, soy milk, and to replace to eggs, banana purée. They're vegan, fat free and delicious!
I appreciate this info, but... this is THREADBANGER!! I don't want to learn about how to make food, I want to learn how to make clothes!!! This isn't the right channel for this video.
I grew up eating meat and I agree, it's delicious...but I don't understand how anyone could eat American factory meat after seeing how it's produced in a documentary like "Food Inc. " It's barbaric and there's no respect or harmony in this new terrible system. A friend of mine gets his meat from a farmer in California who he knows (and he's seen the production) so he feels good about it. If I have kids, that's what I'll do. I'd rather have less good quality meat than lots of cheap, dirty meat.
healthy..however you can substitute something like Boca or Morningstar ground crumbles in place of meat...or if you like something a bit chunkier something like Gardein "beef" tips... if you actually think chili needs "meat" in it. Trust me..you wont know the difference. not to mention that stuff tastes pretty good enough on its own. Even my uncle ( who is an avid meat eater) has trouble telling the difference.
@sniffercatfreak You might be craving meat so badly because you're not getting enough protein and/or iron. Beans are a great vegetarian source for iron. And seitan (a wheat-based meat substitute) has a good amount of protein in it and has a nice meaty texture.
@sniffercatfreak I used to do the whole vegetarian once a week thing and over time I started to realize that I really didn't like meat as much as I used to and just cut it out of my diet. I still eat meat on rare occasions (when I go to someone's house who does not know I'm vegetarian, so I eat the meat to not be rude) but I can honestly say that I don't like the taste of it anymore. And I used to love meat! Don't worry, it'll be a cake walk soon.
@sarrellie Me too! My partner is vegan, and after about a year or so into the relationship ( after me teaching him how to survive on things other than pasta and deep fried chips), I came to really enjoy the food he was eating over my own. I havn't touched meat in years, infact the majority of my diet is vegan, which is only ever interrupted by occasional processed foods with things like 'milk powder' in them.
That chili looks super duper nummy, I must say. <3 I went vegetarian for Lent, actually, and because of it, I try to not eat as much meat as I once did. :) I'll have to try this recipe as soon as I can. Thanks, Meg!
@LAthethug A vegetarian usually just doesn't eat meat and some cut out eggs and milk. Most eat and use animal products like gelatin, yogurt, icecream, and as you said the sauce. Vegans don't eat any animal products.
@LittleSelfia Vegetarian is NOT the same as pescatarian. A vegetarian does not eat fish, a pescatarian is someone who eats no meat but eat dairy, eggs, and fish, Lacto-ovo vegetarians who eats no meat and no fish but eats dairy and eggs, Lacto-vegetarians who eats no meat, no fish, no eggs, but eats dairy, and finally there are vegans who eats no meat, no fish, no eggs, no dairy, no animal products or by-products. This chili is not vegetarian, it's pescatarian because of the worchestershire.
@nullie There are different types. There are some who eat diary and eggs, some who eat gelatin, even some who just don't eat red meat. Vegetarians vary.
@LittleSelfia Yes, I am aware that there are different types but a "vegetarian" that eats gelatin, white meat, etc. is not one of them. If an animal has to die for the product, it is NOT vegetarian. Try looking up vegetarianism on wiki.
I was a vegetarian for 2 years and one cookbook that I found totally awesome (and that I still draw inspiration from) is called "The Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes" and has some really great, stick-to-your ribs vegetarian/vegan recipes.
Also, just a note: most worcestershire sauce isn't vegetarian - it has anchovies in it. Just make sure you check the ingredients list first, they don't all have anchovies in them, but most do.
@fraserarts99 Perhaps pescatarians call themselves vegetarians simply because its far easier. Not everyone knows what a pescatarian is, and not all pescatarians cares to explain the definition and/or their food choices again and again and again.
@sploserbaby If you really want heat, you should cut up some jalapenos and let the flavor mingle in the pot with the rest of it (depending on your preference of chili powder manufacturer it may be what it's made of anyways, except if you use local jalapenos you cut out the huge manufacturer's carbon footprint: Happy Earth Day!).
You can also use Brown rice to eat your chili you have then a omplete protein with the beans. Also give some love to us Flexitarians :) We are omnivores who at just a few meals of meal a week. So I have been doing meatless days for years ;)
meatless mondays?!?! yes this is fucking awesome- i'm a vegetarian(i was a pesetarian for a year before)- and i will not be using the worcestershire thanks Meg!
btw. i love that there are other out there who consider fish meat one of my friends (who is a pesetarian) keeps saying see's a vegetarian when she still eats fish- there is a total difference!!
@ps3widow183 there are different types of vegetarian... i consider myself vegetarian but i still eat seafood. you should check your facts before you comment.
vegans dont eat or use any animal products, and there are vegetarians that still eat eggs and fish, or either.
@altrocker07 You're a pescitarian then, not a vegetarian. Vegetarians don't eat any animal eat, white or red. Also it's pointless being pescitarian unless you eat free range, organic products.
Pescitarians are basically unbalanced versions of omnivores that focus on a specific 'brand' of meat, so you're not really saving any animals like that at all, if that's what you're after.
Btw, I'm an omnivore, but I eat free range + organic meats as much as possible.
Plain Bean Burritos are cheap and so YUMMY. the spicy black beans from whole foods are super tasty. Goat's Cheese on pasta while peas and other vegetables. Tofu stir fry's are really simple. And frozen veggies are just as good as fresh.
interesting how you add sea salt in the mix. it's been all over the news in my country that bath sea salt sold by ethnobotanic shops (it was in the context of the legality of those shops) contains high levels of arsenic. it's also interesting that so far i've only managed to find this related to sea salt toxicity while google-ing myself tinyurl(dot)com / 2cdzlp5 how come nobody else on here knows about this?! green brainwashing much?
here's a better link heavymetalstest(dot)com(slash)seasalt(dot)php i guess the news was also talking about mercury. i didn't care much what it was seeing as it NEVER crossed my mind to consume or use sea salt.
This looks like a great recipe! We live near Trader Joe's and a Whole Foods, so we get all of your meats from there. Also, we don't read pork or beef, and only occasionally we eat chicken or fish. I cannot wait to try this out! I am sure my family, friends, and I will love it!
Is organic really worth it? or is it just a marketing ploy? and is it worth the price? also, isn't there organic produce and other products that just come from China? How do you know whether you are getting your money's worth or just buying crap? Do you run around the grocery store and make a list of the organic products and research all the brands one by one? I think it's better to buy as much local as you can and try cutting down on meat.
Well... If an organic farm is close to a non organic farm, the non organic will polinate the organic so, in essence, if the non organic has anything in it's genes (either modified genes or genes that got modified because of the toxics/chemicals), they will transfere to the organic and they are not so healthy anymore.
Actually the organic food wouldn't be affect even if a non organic farm would be near it. Non organic food doesn't have the natural properties of pollination and germination as organic food does the seeds aren't even functional anymore because they're bred differently they're all hybrids. Try growing a watermelon seed from a watermelon you bought from a store, it wont germinate.
To each their own; being a vegetarian or vegan is a fine lifestyle choice. Personally meat is a small part of my diet (~25%) even though I'm an active outdoorsman. The problem I have is when people make raised lifestock a moral issue - and here's why. Without the consumption of meat and the business that relates to this, what percentage of these animals would never even be born were it not that they are destined for the stew pot. I'm all for organic farming and free run animals.
I eat vegan about 1/3 of the time, and I'm lacto-ovo pescatarian the rest of the time (though I make exceptions for family/special occasions, because I hate to be a pain in the ass). Two of my favourite things in veggie cooking are seitan and quinoa. Seitan, which is made from wheat protein, is versatile and tasty, and mimics meat quite well. Quinoa is a grain that gives body and character to rice, oats, pasta, and lasagna. Delish protein from a plant. Get it in ya!
@t7g6s8 Actually, Catholics are obligated to abstain from meat on Fridays throughout the year. Abstinence and Fasting is observed during Ash Wednesdays and Fridays during the Lenten season.
I eat vegetarian meals about half the time, but I can't be scheduled to one specific day! I do Meatless Whatever Days of the Week I Feel Like it :-P
Chili recipe looks delicious! Chili is one of my favorite things to do vegetarian since it usually uses lots of beans to give it an iron content similar to or better than using beef, and that's important to me since I have a deficiency.
Organic standards are not really falling into any specific guidelines in the US. So unfortunately even if you buy organic you do no really know what how organic it is or to what standards they qualify organic as. I think the real trick to being eco friendly and sustainable to to shop local. Working Class Foodies, totally has it right by buying their food from local farmers and farmers markets and buying what is in season. Get to know where you food comes from, and who brings it to you.
At our uni, in February, about 200 people pledged to go veggie for a month and all the vegetarians went vegan. It was such a great experience and forced me to cook lots of new and varied meals instead of just skipping the meat from my pasta sauce. I would definitely recommend it to everyone!
for me, every day is a meatless day! :D

@LAthethug A vegetarian usually just doesn't eat meat and some cut out eggs and milk. Most eat and use animal products like gelatin, yogurt, icecream, and as you said the sauce. Vegans don't eat any animal products.

I don't know any vegetarians who eat gelatine. You might as well be eating meat, it's not the same as eating dairy.
marvelite90 1 year ago
@LittleSelfia Vegetarian is NOT the same as pescatarian. A vegetarian does not eat fish, a pescatarian is someone who eats no meat but eat dairy, eggs, and fish, Lacto-ovo vegetarians who eats no meat and no fish but eats dairy and eggs, Lacto-vegetarians who eats no meat, no fish, no eggs, but eats dairy, and finally there are vegans who eats no meat, no fish, no eggs, no dairy, no animal products or by-products. This chili is not vegetarian, it's pescatarian because of the worchestershire.

@LittleSelfia umm.. No, vegetarians dont eat gelatin.
nullie 1 year ago
@nullie There are different types. There are some who eat diary and eggs, some who eat gelatin, even some who just don't eat red meat. Vegetarians vary.
LittleSelfia 1 year ago
@LittleSelfia Yes, I am aware that there are different types but a "vegetarian" that eats gelatin, white meat, etc. is not one of them. If an animal has to die for the product, it is NOT vegetarian. Try looking up vegetarianism on wiki.

I was a vegetarian for 2 years and one cookbook that I found totally awesome (and that I still draw inspiration from) is called "The Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes" and has some really great, stick-to-your ribs vegetarian/vegan recipes.
Also, just a note: most worcestershire sauce isn't vegetarian - it has anchovies in it. Just make sure you check the ingredients list first, they don't all have anchovies in them, but most do.

@fraserarts99 Doesn't seem proper to say "proper vegetarian" as a fish eater has its own category as a pescatarian...
silverbracelet6 1 year ago 3
@silverbracelet6 I said that because so many pescatarians call them selves vegetarians!
fraserarts99 1 year ago
@fraserarts99 Perhaps pescatarians call themselves vegetarians simply because its far easier. Not everyone knows what a pescatarian is, and not all pescatarians cares to explain the definition and/or their food choices again and again and again.

sploserbaby 1 year ago 2
@sploserbaby If you really want heat, you should cut up some jalapenos and let the flavor mingle in the pot with the rest of it (depending on your preference of chili powder manufacturer it may be what it's made of anyways, except if you use local jalapenos you cut out the huge manufacturer's carbon footprint: Happy Earth Day!).

You can also use Brown rice to eat your chili you have then a omplete protein with the beans. Also give some love to us Flexitarians :) We are omnivores who at just a few meals of meal a week. So I have been doing meatless days for years ;)

altrocker07 1 year ago
@altrocker07 You're a pescitarian then, not a vegetarian. Vegetarians don't eat any animal eat, white or red. Also it's pointless being pescitarian unless you eat free range, organic products.
Pescitarians are basically unbalanced versions of omnivores that focus on a specific 'brand' of meat, so you're not really saving any animals like that at all, if that's what you're after.
Btw, I'm an omnivore, but I eat free range + organic meats as much as possible.

interesting how you add sea salt in the mix. it's been all over the news in my country that bath sea salt sold by ethnobotanic shops (it was in the context of the legality of those shops) contains high levels of arsenic. it's also interesting that so far i've only managed to find this related to sea salt toxicity while google-ing myself tinyurl(dot)com / 2cdzlp5 how come nobody else on here knows about this?! green brainwashing much?

This looks like a great recipe! We live near Trader Joe's and a Whole Foods, so we get all of your meats from there. Also, we don't read pork or beef, and only occasionally we eat chicken or fish. I cannot wait to try this out! I am sure my family, friends, and I will love it!

Is organic really worth it? or is it just a marketing ploy? and is it worth the price? also, isn't there organic produce and other products that just come from China? How do you know whether you are getting your money's worth or just buying crap? Do you run around the grocery store and make a list of the organic products and research all the brands one by one? I think it's better to buy as much local as you can and try cutting down on meat.

Well... If an organic farm is close to a non organic farm, the non organic will polinate the organic so, in essence, if the non organic has anything in it's genes (either modified genes or genes that got modified because of the toxics/chemicals), they will transfere to the organic and they are not so healthy anymore.
mickysantos 1 year ago
@mickysantos
Actually the organic food wouldn't be affect even if a non organic farm would be near it. Non organic food doesn't have the natural properties of pollination and germination as organic food does the seeds aren't even functional anymore because they're bred differently they're all hybrids. Try growing a watermelon seed from a watermelon you bought from a store, it wont germinate.

To each their own; being a vegetarian or vegan is a fine lifestyle choice. Personally meat is a small part of my diet (~25%) even though I'm an active outdoorsman. The problem I have is when people make raised lifestock a moral issue - and here's why. Without the consumption of meat and the business that relates to this, what percentage of these animals would never even be born were it not that they are destined for the stew pot. I'm all for organic farming and free run animals.

I eat vegan about 1/3 of the time, and I'm lacto-ovo pescatarian the rest of the time (though I make exceptions for family/special occasions, because I hate to be a pain in the ass). Two of my favourite things in veggie cooking are seitan and quinoa. Seitan, which is made from wheat protein, is versatile and tasty, and mimics meat quite well. Quinoa is a grain that gives body and character to rice, oats, pasta, and lasagna. Delish protein from a plant. Get it in ya!

Chili recipe looks delicious! Chili is one of my favorite things to do vegetarian since it usually uses lots of beans to give it an iron content similar to or better than using beef, and that's important to me since I have a deficiency.

Organic standards are not really falling into any specific guidelines in the US. So unfortunately even if you buy organic you do no really know what how organic it is or to what standards they qualify organic as. I think the real trick to being eco friendly and sustainable to to shop local. Working Class Foodies, totally has it right by buying their food from local farmers and farmers markets and buying what is in season. Get to know where you food comes from, and who brings it to you.

At our uni, in February, about 200 people pledged to go veggie for a month and all the vegetarians went vegan. It was such a great experience and forced me to cook lots of new and varied meals instead of just skipping the meat from my pasta sauce. I would definitely recommend it to everyone!
