My thoughts:

I practise dear a boring cooker chili! Lately, I've been trying to role less meat together with mass the chili upwardly amongst vegetables. I practise similar vegetarian chili (this acorn squash chili is a favorite) but the meat makes it a flake to a greater extent than filling together with it adds a richer flavor. I had a large cauliflower inwards the refrigerator therefore I idea I'd laissez passer on it a shot. To my surprise, it actually held its cast inwards the chili! It too sucked upwardly a lot of flavour from the chili therefore it wasn't similar you lot were but biting into a bland slice of cauliflower. I used iv whole jalapenos inwards my chili because they were non rattling spicy. They did add together a lot of flavour though. Be careful if your chiles are spicier, you lot mightiness alone desire to role two.
