This vegetarian chili made with quinoa has quickly become our family’s favourite and replaced any meat version by far. The texture is terrific! The quinoa gives the chili the perfect meat like bite, but adsorbs the flavours perfectly. Even my child that HATES quinoa, loves this chili!

Hello breakfast on a heated patio.
