Favorite Recipes: Heart Beet Chili
Like fusion dishes? You'll love this sweet and spicy chili. This recipe was adapted from Oryana, a fantastic natural food market in Traverse City, Michigan. We fell in love at first taste when it was served at a Sips & Soups event sponsored by the Leelanau County Wine Trail. Paired with a dry, fruit forward Pinot Noir, it is out of this world. But, to be fair, it's also great just by itself.
This dish is both dairy-free and meat-free, but we often top with cheese, Greek yogurt, an egg...whatever. Monterey Jack cheese blends well with the sweet and spicy flavors. BTW, beets are a great anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, support healthy blood pressure, and more...so this chili will more than fill your tummy.
