Green and white chili ("chicken" and tomatillo chili):
I have quite a few beautiful tomatillo's coming in from my garden, and it was a cold and wet day so I thought a nice spicy chili was in order. I love the unique flavor of tomatillo's and they really paired wonderfully with all the other ingredients in this awesome chili! You got to try it, perfect fall food!
-5 cups tomatillos chopped up into 1 inch or so pieces (measured after chopped)- about 15 medium
-1 head garlic peeled
-2 cups yellow onions coarsely chopped cooked down till golden
-2 cups cooked white beans (I used navy but white kidney would be good too)
-6 cups vegetable stock
-2 cups of water
-1/2 cup dry white wine
-6 cups vegetable stock
-2 cups of water
-2 tsp white miso paste
-1 tbsp nutritional yeast
-2 gardien natural style chicken breast's
-1 1/2 green peppers halved and seeded
-3 jalapenos (or less depending on your heat tolerance, this makes for a rather spicy chili)
-2 tbsp earth balance melted and heated
-2 tbsp white flour
-Salt and black pepper to taste
Lightly coat in oil and put the tomatillos and garlic in separate sections of your pan 425 till bubbly and golden
Saute the onions in 1 tsp oil till golden, the de-glaze onions with 1/2 cup dry white wine.
After the wine has completely reduced and you've scraped all the good stuff off the bottom, add the water, stock, miso and nutritional yeast.
While the tomatillios and garlic are roasting, and the onions are cooking, throw the "chicken", jalapenos and green peppers on the grill- grilling is optional, but it does add a nice depth of flavor.
2 tbsp earth balance melted and heated + 2 tbsp white flour whisked into the earth balance till a roux forms
Add
some stock from the chili to the roux, and whisk till smooth, and
repeat till fairly liquid, add the roux into the stock, stir till smooth
and thickened.
When they are finished cooking, coarsely chop everything up. When you add the veggies and "chicken" add the beans as well.
Finely mince up the roasted garlic, then add to stock, add the tomatillios (scrape the juice from the tomatillios into the pot), put all other ingredients into the pot, heat through and stir, then prepare to be amazed while your taste-buds dance with delight! :)
I garnished it with plain soygurt, mozza daiya and sliced scallions.
