Pumpkin Chilli

 
Pumpkin Chilli!  Believe it, what a fantastic base for all stews and their relatives... I was impressed and will be stocking up on canned pumpkin year-round.  Boy, was this GOOD. 

The basic recipe can be altered depending on what you have in the fridge or freezer.  I had onions, Gardein Beefless Tips, frozen mixed carrots/broc/cauliflower... nothing crazy.  But, together, success.

A great addition to most chillies is liquid smoke ;-)  Is that how you pluralize chilli? Hm...

1/2 TBS chilli powder
1 tsp coriander seeds, crushed

FASCIST DIRECTIONS

2. Add the canned pumpkin and spices.  Mix well.
