  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 cup sunflower oil (or other neutral oil)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. To make the cheese sauce, put the potatoes and carrots in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook uncovered until soft (about 10 minutes). Drain and transfer the potatoes and carrots to a blender. Add the nutritional yeast, oil, and salt, blend until smooth. If needed, add a little water to get a pourable consistency.
  2. To make the chili, in a small saucepan heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and pepper, and cook until the vegetables start to soften and brown (about 5 minutes).
