Carol's Vegan Quinoa Chili Recipe
Carol, our Bookkeeper / Administrative Assistant, grew up with southern focused cuisine. Her family's chili recipe included lots of meat. Carol adapted this recipe to be vegetarian and vegan-friendly while still being hearty, filling, delicious, and healthy!

Method:
1. Bring water to a boil. Slowly stir in quinoa, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 min or until all water is absorbed and quinoa is tender. Remove from heat.
2. In the meantime, heat the olive oil over med-high heat and sauté the onions until translucent – approx. 5 mins. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, cocoa powder, and cinnamon; cook and stir for 1 min to release flavors. Stir in tomatoes, beans, bell peppers, zucchini and yellow squash, and jalapeno. Heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
