Guest guest Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I made the veggie chilli today. I had the stalk of a brocolli and a cauliflower stalk sitting in the fridge, so diced them and threw them in, too. It was really good. Since I don't like spicy hot things, I only put in half of the chilli powder, but it was to bland, so about an hour before serving, I put in the other half. My husband said it was perfectly spicy and I throught it was just fine, too. I did not put in any salt, I served it with a Romaine heart and spinach salad with diced fresh apples and craisons. I used the dressing for that strawberry salad and it was delish. Katie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Sometimes such stong flavored vegetables change the character of a dish. I always like to try a recipe according to the recipe before I make major taste changes. Although we love both broccoli and cauliflower, I am not sure I would like it in the Slow-Cooker Veggie Chili recipe that I posted yesterday. So glad you and your husband liked it with those additions. Did you cook it in the crockpot or on the stove top? One of the nice things about this chili is that it has hours of slow cooking to really meld the flavors. The rest of the meal sounds lovely and perfect complimentary flavors. Nancy C.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I cooked it in the crock pot. I don't think the little bit of cauliflower and brocolli I putin it changed the flaver much. I put them in about 5 hours into the cook and tasted before and after. I couldn't tell the difference.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I wasn't sure how much broccoli and cauliflower you used.....the most important thing is if you and your family liked it.....that is really all that counts in the end. I am glad you liked it. I made a soup tonight that I say on Rachal Raye.....called Sweet and Sour Cabbage Soup....it was good.....made a ton!! Nancy C. I cooked it in the crock pot.
