The Best Vegetarian Chili: No Meat Required, Full of Flavor | America's Test Kitchen

Inspired by the award-winning chili made by Mama T (Trisha Gonsalves) in Hawaii, Christie Morrison and Julia Collin Davison make their own version of a great meat-free chili. Our recipe uses two types of dried chiles for heat, soy sauce and mushrooms for deep umami flavor, and perfectly cooked pearl barley, which adds a hearty bite to the variety of beans in the pot.
