Raw Chili

Ingredients:

Chili:

• ½ cup tightly packed sun-dried tomatoes (oil-free and salt-free)
• 2 ½ cups roughly chopped cherry or plum tomatoes
• 1 medjool date, pitted
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• ½ tsp ground coriander
• ½ tsp paprika
• ¼-½ tsp chili powder or cayenne
• 1 tbsp fresh oregano or 1 tsp dried
• 1 garlic clove
• ½ tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
• ½-1 tsp Atlantic dulse flakes (optional)
• 1-2 tbsps chopped ripe hot pepper (optional)
• 1 cup chopped zucchini
• ½ cup chopped red bell pepper
• ⅓ cup roughly chopped red onion
• ⅓ cup chopped celery
• ¼ cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves

Mushroom mince:

• 1 ½ cups roughly chopped mushrooms*
• ½ tsp ground cumin
• ½ tsp ground coriander
• ½ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 tsp raw honey

To serve:

• 2-3 lime wedges
• ¼ cup loosely packed fresh cilantro
• 4-5 fresh ripe hot pepper slices (optional)

Directions:

Place the sun-dried tomatoes in a heatproof bowl and cover with hot water. Let soak for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the mushroom mince by combining the mushrooms, spices, oregano, lime juice, and raw honey in a food processor. Pulse a few times until roughly chopped. Remove from the food processor and set aside.

Drain the soaked sun-dried tomatoes and place in the food processor—you don’t need to rinse them first. Add the cherry or plum tomatoes, date, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, chili powder or cayenne, oregano, garlic, lime juice, Atlantic dulse flakes (if using), and hot pepper (if using). Process for 2 to 3 minutes until very smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.

Add the zucchini, red bell pepper, red onion, celery, and cilantro leaves to the food processor. Pulse a couple of times until the sauce is combined but still chunky.

To serve, divide the chili between soup bowls and top with the mushroom mince, lime wedges, cilantro, and hot pepper slices (if using). Serve immediately.

*For the mushrooms, wash and rinse thoroughly with warm to hot water before chopping. Do not use slimy or decaying mushrooms. That’s a sign of oxidizing and aging.
