Bowl of Compassion Vegetarian Chili

Cuisine: Vegetarian

Category: Vegetarian

Servings: 6

Ingredients:

1/3 cup Olive oil
2 medium Onions -- chopped
4 Cloves garlic -- minced
2 Jalapeno peppers -- chopped
1 Mild pepper -- chopped
1 Red pepper -- chopped
1 Green pepper -- chopped
2 large Tomatoes -- diced
8 ounces Tomato sauce
2 cans Rotel Tomatoes and Chilis
2 15-oz cans dark red kidney
Beans
3 cups Water
4 tablespoon Chili powder
2 tablespoon Cumin
1 tablespoon Paprika
1 tablespoon Oregano
1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Salt -- pepper to taste
Tabasco to taste
1 cup Textured Vegetable Protein

Instructions:

Saute onions, garlic, and peppers in oil until onions are translucent. Add spices and simmer for two minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients, adding the TVP last. You can adjust the amount of TVP to obtain the desired texture and consistency. You can substitute beer for the water for a more unique flavor. One jalapeno makes a mild chili (two were used for the cookoff). Simmer from four to six hours. It's even better the next day.
