A chunky chili with veggies and no beans. Very tomato-ey with a nice crunch from the peppers. Smooth and creamy from the avocados.

Ingredients: 

2 Medium Tomatoes
½ Avocado
¼ cup Sundried Tomato, soaked until soft
1 clove Garlic
1 Handful of Cilantro
1 tablespoon Chili Powder
1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
½ teaspoon Salt
½ Red Pepper, diced small
½ Green Pepper, diced small
¼ cup Green Onion
½ Avocado, diced large
½ Tomato, diced
1 Handful of Cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon Olive oil
1 teaspoon Lime Juice
1 dash Salt to taste

Preparation: 

Puree tomato, half an avocado, sundried tomato, garlic, and one handful of cilantro in a food processor until pretty smooth. Blend in spices. I had to add a lot of chili powder to get this spicy, but be sure to taste as you add, chili powder may vary :)
Dice peppers and green onion and put into a bowl. Add in puree and give it a good stir to blend. Chop the other half of the avocado, half a tomato (or a whole one if you wish) and some cilantro, and mix this in to the chili. Add olive oil and lime juice, stir that baby real good, add a little more salt if it pleases the palate, and you’re done! Bon Appetit!

This was the first recipe that reassured me that eating raw does not mean that you have to skip out on flavor, texture or try to find weird unheard of foods to add to recipes to make it good. It is prefect.

Made this about a month ago for my teenagers and they loved it! It is a new family fav. I used a friend's home grown tomatoes last time and it was unbelievable! We like it spicy, so I add more chili powder. Thank you for the inspiration.

I tried it. I liked it. *smile* Shared some with my boss. He liked it. Shared some with my dad. He liked it. This was my first time using cilantro so I thought I was supposed to grab a handful and THEN chop it up. Obviously I ended up with way too much. Thank God you told us to taste as we stir stuff in...LOL Now I have all this leftover cilantro. I'm SO GLAD you shared this recipe. I can't remember the last time I had chili. I even wrapped it in a sprouted tortilla with some guacamole.

As previously stated AMAZING! Thank you SO SO much for this recipe! I added a tiny bit of jalapeno for some extra zing. It is great at room temp and has a unique warming and cooing effect!

SMOKED SWEET PAPRIKA gives it a BBQ'ish flavour. (ok, probably not purely raw, but I loved the flavor.) I also added some sprouted lentils, which have a slightly spicy flavour. This is an awesome chili--very moreish.

I just made this-- it is soo good! I was never even a chili fan. I added a handful of spinach to the puree to get some more greens in and a clove more garlic because I can never have too much. It's very filling and satisfying. I can't wait to make it for my boyfriend. Many thanks!

I would like to make this but I do not have Sun dried tomatoes, do not ahve oil, do not have salt, do not have cilantro and I only have one smallish, slightly rotten green pepper.... Can I make it without those ingredients?
