Carols Favorite Vegetarian Chili Recipe
Yield: 6 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
1 large: Onion, chopped
3: Garlic clove, crushed & pressed
2 tbsp: Oil,
1: Celery rib, diced
1 1/2 tsp: Chili powder,
1 tsp: Cumin,
1/2 tsp: Cayenne pepper,
1 cup: Tomato, chopped
2 tbsp: Tomato paste,
4 cup: Beans, kidney, black, pinto and/or garbanzo, cooked
1/2 lbs: Tofu, crumbled (opt)
1 1/2 tsp: Salt,
1 tsp: Oregano,
Directions:
Saute onion and garlic in oil until onion is soft. Add celery and
spices. Saute another 2-3 minutes. Add tomato and paste. Mash 2 cups
of the beans and add beans and tofu to the pot along with the salt
and oregano. Simmer 30 minutes.
To cook raw beans:
Soak beans in water overnight, OR boil for 2 minutes and let sit,
covered, for 1 hour. Bring to a boil in same water and simmer about
1 hour or until tender. (beans approximately double in volume, i.e.,
two cups raw = 4 cups cooked)
Notes: I like cooking my own beans rather than buying canned beans.
: I use as many different beans as I have at home. Usually at
: least 3 of the 4 mentioned, and one of the 3 must be black
: beans because they are my absolute favorite.
: Add or subtract cayenne pepper for hotness level.
: A bit more cumin may be good too, I have yet to determine
this,
: though.
