Chili Fantastico

 

Recipe By :Kim Sinclair <sinclai

Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Beans & Legumes Low Fat

Mexican Tofu & Soy

 

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

16 ounces canned kidney beans -- (1 can)

16 ounces chickpeas, canned -- (1 can)

3 medium onions -- well chopped

8 cloves garlic -- minced

2 serrano peppers

1 large carrot -- peeled and chopped

3 stalks celery -- chopped

1/2 tofu block -- cut 1/4 inch cubes

2 green peppers -- chopped

1 red pepper -- chopped

12 ounces canned tomatoes -- crushed

1/2 teaspoon allspice

1 teaspoon cumin

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

chili powder -- to taste

(I would recommend about 3 tablespoons)

2 bay leaves

2 teaspoons oregano

2 teaspoons basil

salt and pepper -- to taste

3 scallions -- chopped

 

In a food processor or using a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic and the

serrano peppers. In a large saucepan, fry the onions with about 2 tablespoons

of olive oil over a medium heat. When the onions become soft and translucent,

add the garlic mixture and continue to cook for about 1 minute. To this

mixture, add the remaining vegetables, raise the heat, and stir often. When

the vegetables begin to soften, add the tofu, lower the heat, and cover,

stirring occasionally. After about 15 minutes, add the spices, mix well, and

again, cover and allow to simmer for another 5 minutes. Add the crushed

tomatoes and mix well. Raise the heat until the mixture begins to boil; stir

often. Once the mixture has boiled, lower the heat substantially, cover, and

allow to simmer for as much time as you have (at least half an hour). Serve

garnished with the scallions.

 

NOTE: For non-vegans, serve with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream.

 

NOTE: Not only is this a fantastic chili, but it packs a huge amount of

protein. Serve this with a sourdough bread. Be warned! This is filling--two

bowls and you'll be on the couch for hours!

 

Makes 8 servings.
