Vegetarian Chili

So here is something simple that can be made and enjoyed multiple days of the week. There is really no rule as to what to use, but here is how I made mine today (it varies all the time depending on what beans I have and what I am in the mood for)...I don't measure remember, but soak a fair amount of various beans to have enough to feed however many you need to.


Vegetarian Chili

Adzuki Beans
Cannellini Beans
Chick peas (garbanzo beans)
1 Packet Organic Vegetarian Chili Seasoning
1 large can diced tomatoes
1 small can tomato sauce
1 green pepper chopped
1 small onion chopped
1 Anaheim pepper chopped

Soak the beans for about a day (or over night)*
Boil the beans about an hour. Drain and add other ingredients. Place on medium heat until vegetable tenderness is at desired point (I like mine a little crunchy still). Serve it up!

This is so healthy and hearty for you. Don't forget to add a protein to eat with it. I grilled a chicken breast (which I seasoned and rubbed some deli mustard on for flavor and pan grilled) to eat with mine today, but you can grill a fresh sausage, hamburger patty, etc. Ditch the unnecessary things like cheese and rice (if you have to have rice make it brown then).

*Try to use bulk beans. When you soak them it will allow some of the "gassiness" to soak out (you can see it float to the top of the pot). Not only do canned beans keep this in, they usually are packed with sodium which you don't need!
