Anti-Flatulence Vegetarian Chili

November 14, 2017

Anti-Flatulence Vegetarian Blitz-Chili - plant-based, vegan, gluten free, refined sugar free - heavenlynnhealthy.comToday we’re having chili.

Oh no, not chili. This always leaves me bloated and gives me flatulence. And don’t even get me started on my husband/boyfriend/girlfriend. No, Lynn, not bean chili.

Alright, stop. Don’t worry. Chili does not always cause flatulence. The secret is anti-flatulence herbs and spices. I’m talking fennel seeds, anise, dill, ginger, cumin, caraway seeds, garlic or parsley, just to name a few. They will allow for the unwanted gases to leave your body odorless and unnoticed.Uhhhh. She’s talking about our guts and what comes out of it. Disgusting.

Well, come on. This is a health blog and one big part of a healthy body is a healthy intestine, or intestinal flora. It should not be a tabu topic anymore. Did you know, for example that the intestinal flora is a big part of our immune sytem? It is not to be neglected when it comes to health questions.

Cumin is especially ideal for chilis, because it gives it its distinct flavor. But not everyone likes cumin either. I recon that garlic and ginger will be everyone’s favorite in this recipe. Am I right? If you want to be on the safe side, just add a little bit of everything.

Anti-Flatulence Vegetarian Blitz-Chili - plant-based, vegan, gluten free, refined sugar free - heavenlynnhealthy.comLike most of my recipes, you can vary the ingredients depending on what your fridge holds. Carrots, fennel, parsnip, leek, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower – choose whatever you still have at home. If you don’t have a pumpkin, just use carrots or beets. The chocolate in this recipe is also a nice gimmick, but it’s not a must.

Finally, I brought a little video that will hopefully inspire you to give it a try. I made this with my first intern Jasmin the other day, and I think she did a fine job directing, don’t you agree?

    Re anti-flatulence – I pressure cook 4 bay leaves and a 1″ knob of ginger for 15 minutes, then cook overnight soaked legumes (beans) or 2 hr soaked lentils in it.
    In recipes I may or may not add more herbs and spices, but this system works for me and quite a few of my friends.
