Here is my favorite recipe. This is adapted from Vegetarian Cooking

for Dummies.

 

Ingredients:

2 15 oz cans of kidney beans (rinsed)

1 onion

1 or 2 bell peppers

1 15 oz can of diced tomatoes

2 tbsp of chili powder

1 tbsp of chipotle chili powder

2 tsp of cumin and or cilantro

lemon juice to taste

 

Directions:

Heat some olive or other oil in a large pot. Chop the onion and bell

pepper, saute until onions are translucent. If using canned beans,

rinse and drain, adding to the pot. Also add the tomatoes, spices and

lemon juice. Cook on med-low for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

 

This makes a fantastic chili!! It tastes even better the next day...

I often make a large pot and divide into smaller servings for lunches

or dinners in the week. It works well as a burrito filling too.

 

The original recipe called for cashews and raisins as well. I adjust

the recipe all of the time. I frequently use home-cooked beans

(approx 4 cups). You can try black or pinto beans. I often mix

different kinds. You can also experiment with different kinds of

onions and peppers. I've thrown in corn and other veggies to make it

stretch farther. I once forgot the tomatoes and threw in salsa - it

turned out great. I use a lot of spice and lemon juice because I like

it hot - but you can tone it down as needed.

 

Enjoy!
