Ingredients
SWEAT:
STIR IN:
ADD:
When reheating leftovers of this chili, you may need to add a little extra vegetable broth to get the right consistency.
Instructions
Sweat onions, mushrooms, and garlic in oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium until onion is translucent, 5 minutes. Add cabbage, celery, carrot, cumin, oregano, paprika, coriander, and cayenne; partially cover pot. Reduce heat to medium-low, and sweat mixture until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
Stir in diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, and broth. Bring chili to a simmer and cook until thickened, 10 minutes more.
Add beans and bell pepper; season with salt and black pepper. Serve chili over Cheesy Macaroni and top with avocado.

Cut out and discard the tough, bitter core before chopping the head of cabbage.

Char and steam the bell pepper to add smoky flavor, then peel off the blistered skin.

Season with cumin, oregano, paprika, coriander, and cayenne — basically adding up to chili powder.
