Anti-inflammatory Chili
Delicious AIP Chili
This chili recipe follows the AIP (anti-inflammatory diet protocol). For those of you unfamiliar, the AIP excludes the most common foods that can be inflammatory to the body, including dairy, legumes, grains (including gluten), nightshade vegetables (think, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes), nuts, seeds, eggs, and seed-derived spices. Now, you may be thinking about what’s left, especially because most chili recipes contain many of these ingredients, like beans and tomato. While this chili isn’t your stereotypical chili recipe, I can assure you it still hits the spot!
