Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound oyster mushrooms note 1
  • ½ large yellow onion (1 small yellow onion), diced
  • 3 ribs celery, diced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 jalapeno peppers, deseeded and chopped
  • pinch of salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 4.5 ounce canned green chiles
  • 3 15 ounce canned white cannellini beans, drained note 2
  • 4 cups Vegan Bone Broth (or your choice of vegetable broth)
  • ½ cup masa harina note 3
  • 2 cups plant based milk
  • freshly chopped cilantro for serving

Instructions

  • First clean your oyster mushrooms by taking a damp paper towel and wiping your mushrooms off one by one. Don't rinse your mushrooms because mushrooms hold a lot of water. Once clean, lightly shred them to resemble "shredded chicken."
  • In a large pot, add olive oil, oyster mushrooms, onions, celery, green bell pepper, and jalapeno peppers. Sauté' for 5 minutes until vegetables soften. Add salt and pepper to taste. Next add garlic, cumin powder, and chili powder to pot and sauté for an additional 2 minutes
  • Once vegetables have soften, add canned green chiles, canned white cannellini beans, and vegan bone broth to a pot. Allow to simmer for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, add masa harina and plant based milk. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes until chili thickens.
  • Portion into bowls, and garnish with cilantro, avocado slices, vegan guacamole, jalapeno peppers slices, and/or vegan sour cream. Serve with vegan spelt cornbread, air fryer tortilla chips, or on it's own with a fresh salad. Chili will last for up to 5 days in the fridge and up to 3 months in the freezer.

Notes

  1. Oyster Mushrooms: I use oyster mushrooms because it has a meaty texture and is great to replace the chicken in a traditional white vegan chili. No oyster mushrooms WILL NOT taste like chicken but it has a very hearty texture. If you don't like oyster mushrooms or lack access to them, canned jackfruit in brine can make a great substitution. Just make sure you boil it first to remove the brine taste like I demonstrate in my Jackfruit Pot Roast recipe.
  2. White Beans: I use cannellini beans (white kidney beans) you can also use great northern beans, navy beans, lima beans or even chickpeas for unique spin on white chili.
  3. Masa Harina: Do NOT skip this ingredient as it helps the chili become thicken and gives it a nice "corn" flavor and texture.
