Peggy McKay’s Vegan Chili Recipe

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, August 15th, 2008 in Actresses, Recipes.

NBC's

A couple of days ago, we introduced you to Kevin Nealon’s Chickpea Tacos. Turns out, after examining that website more closely, there are several other celebrity favorite recipes that also looked tasty. So we decided to bring them all to you in case you were too hungry to bother clicking more to go to the site. Enjoy!

Peggy McKay’s Vegan Chili

2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 medium red onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 12-ounce package vegetarian ground beef substitute
1 14.5-ounce can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes
1 15-ounce can vegetarian chili beans
1 tablespoon chili powder, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup vegetable broth
1 cup tomato sauce
1 bunch fresh cilantro
1 salt, to taste
1 black pepper, to taste

In a stock pot heat the oil. Add the onions and sauté until just limp. Add the burger crumbles and brown well. Add all the other ingredients, one by one, except the cilantro. Bring to an almost boil, lower the heat put the entire bunch of cilantro on top for 15 minutes covered, stir a couple of times to make sure it doesn’t burn at the bottom. Remove and discard the cilantro. Serve hot. Will keep in refrigerator for up to five days, or freezer for two months. Serve with a little chopped red onion and soy cheddar cheese sprinkled on top.

To be honest, this is not my own recipe. But I’ve tasted this and served it to my guests at dinner, who swore it was not a vegetarian chili. It’s the best chili I’ve ever tasted.

The People's Choice Awards 1998

Australian actress Lynda Stoner won fans for her roles in The Young Doctors and Cop Shop. Her new cookbook, Now Vegan! not only features yummy recipes, but quotes from famous vegetarians and vegans as well.

The main reason she chose to write the book was to introduce people to the variety of vegan food options while still keeping it very much mainstream.

She cites her favorite recipes from the book as “Mum’s Croquettes,” or “Curried Sausages.”

If you are interested in reading a recent interview she completed, you can go here to do so.

Kevin Nealon’s Chickpea Vegetarian Taco Recipe

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, August 12th, 2008 in Actors, Comedians, Recipes.

Premiere Of Showtimes

Rachel Ray and Emeril better be watching their backs. Kevin Nealon might be waiting for them, ready to attack with his carrot sticks as he apparently knows how to cook a mean chickpea taco. There’s a recipe on Nutrition MD attributed to the Saturday Night Live and Weeds actor.

He once made fun of meat eaters by saying:

“I can’t wait for meal time when I can chow down on the decomposing corpse of a tortured animal. I like knowing that eating meat makes me four times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke.”

Kevin Nealon’s Chickpea Tacos


1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained
3 – 5 tablespoons salsa
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 dash cayenne pepper, or to taste
8 – 10 taco shells

In large saute pan, heat oil over medium heat.

Cook onion, celery, and green pepper until softened. Add chickpeas, salsa, cumin, and chili powder. Stir and cook until warmed. Mash chickpeas slightly with a fork for better texture.

Fill shells evenly with mixture from saute pan. If desired, top with any of the following: chopped tomatoes, shredded soy or rice cheese, low-fat guacamole, shredded lettuce, hot sauce, or salsa.
