The addition of pumpkin puree to this Quick Pumpkin Chili over Toast gives it a silky texture. Chili paste adds heat and unique flavor. So what makes this recipe quick? First, there’s no chopping of veggies. That’s always a plus on a busy day. Second, serve it simply over whole-grain toast, rather than cooking a pot of pasta or other grain. If you haven’t tried thick toast as a soft, chewy bed for chili, you’re in for a treat. Make sure it’s good bread, of course. We either have home made bread or a big loaf from our local farmers’ market on hand most days.
