VeganMoFo Day 14-Roasted Tomatillo Chili with homemade tortillas!



Homemade tortillas! I made my own tortilla press with two wooden cutting boards, plastic wrap to sandwich the dough, and myself on the floor sitting on the cutting boards to smoosh the dough. Works like a charm! My kitty cat thought I was totally weird though, and kept sniffing around and giving me an inquisitive look.


Tomatillos are so pretty! I roasted them, along with a hot pepper, carrots, radishes, and garlic. To make the chili, I sauteed an onion, and pureed the roasted tomatillos. I added them in with the onion, along with the chopped up roasted pepper and garlic. I super-spiced it up with (too much) hot sauce, sea salt, pepper, cumin, and hungarian paprika. I just dumped in a bunch of tvp (enough to soak up the juices, I eyed it) and then added some braising greens at the end. I served it up with a spread of black beans, the roasted veggies (I prolly could have just chopped them and added to the chili), and the nacho cheese sauce from Yellow Rose Recipes (I looooove this cheese sauce). Totally messy to eat, but in a seriously yummy way.
