Peanut butter, mango and romano bean chili and walnut cheese over brown rice


Peanut butter, mango and romano bean chili (garlic, cumin, paprika, coconut, liquid smoke, cremini mushrooms, vidalia onion, flat leaf parsley, spinach, jalapeno pepper, evoo/flax oil, tomato paste, lime juice, vegetable stock) and walnut cheese over brown rice.

Chili and cheese is a very popular combination in the midwest where I grew up. This dish had a great mouth feel and an excellent flavour. Coconut and mango add a rich undertone to anything spicy, and the walnut cheese added just the right richesse to the dish overall.

For the walnut cheese:

1/2 cup of walnuts ground until they start to get buttery
2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons of plain soy yogurt
1 tablespoon of turmeric
Sea salt to taste
