List of Ingredients
4 large red onions
Olive oil
1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
2 tablespoons diced pickled jalapeno peppers
1 teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1½ teaspoons brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups soy "ground beef"
14-ounce can diced tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Recipe
Preheat oven to 425 F.
To prepare the onion, trim the ends and peel away any dry skin. Use a melon baller to hollow out each onion, leaving about 1/3 inch of flesh all around. Finely dice 1 cup of the removed onion, saving the remainder for another use.
Use a pastry brush to coat the inside and outside of each onion with olive oil. Alternatively, spray each with cooking oil.
Heat an additional 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over a medium flame. Add the diced onion and red and jalapeno peppers. Saute, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano and brown sugar. Cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the garlic, and cook an additional minute.
Add soy beef and tomatoes, and cook, stirring occasionally, until hot, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper.
Carefully spoon enough chili into each onion so that it mounds gently over the top. Arrange the onions on a small, rimmed baking sheet, and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the onions from the oven, and top each with ¼ cup cheese. Return to the oven, and cook another 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and slightly browned.
