Ingredients

1 cup cooked quinoa (about ⅓ cup raw)

1 cup cooked, mashed pumpkin

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 tablespoon ground ancho chiles

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon pie spice blend

1 orange bell pepper, chopped

2 ribs celery, chopped

2 cups vegetable stock

14.5 ounces fire roasted diced tomatoes

1 ½ cups cooked chickpeas (or one can, drained)

1 teaspoon salt

¾ ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped

cilantro

Instructions
  1. Measure the quinoa and pumpkin and reserve.
  2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil and add the onion. Saute for about 10 minutes, then add the garlic. Stir for a couple of minutes, then add the ancho powder, cumin, pie spice, and quinoa. Stir until fragrant.
  3. Add the peppers, celery, stock, tomatoes and pumpkin and stir to mix. Add the chickpeas and salt and bring to a simmer. Cooker until thickened, about 10 minutes. 
  4. Add the chocolate and let it sit on the hot chili until melted. Stir in and cook a little longer to blend the flavors. This will actually be better the next day.
