Carrot and Sweet Potato “Chili”
One of the meals I really tend to miss on the autoimmune protocol is a warming bowl of chili. Unfortunately, traditional chili is not very autoimmune protocol friendly, being chock full of nightshades, beans, and dairy. It never occurred to me until recently that I could mimic the texture of tomatoes with carrots and sweet potatoes. This recipe is nothing like a traditional chili, since it doesn’t have any of the characteristic nightshade and seed spices. It does fit the bill well enough though, and I have found myself making it more often when the weather is cold and I’d like to batch cook something for the week.

Made this for a pot luck. It was a huge hit, there was none left to take home. It turned out more like a stew than a chili, but still amazing. My wife said to put this on our permanent recipe book.
I make this all the time and love it! It freezes well too!
