Vegetarian Chili - my version

My friends asked what do I eat! I tell them I do vegetarian twice a week. This does not mean just eating vegetables. It means eating a wholesome meal that is compose of protein, fiber, carbs. So at times, I would make a big batch of vegetarian chili good for a a couple of days. Here are the ingredients:

1 package of texturized protein - u can get this in the aisle with the soy cheese- it looks like chopped meat, already cooked
1 can diced or stewed tomatoes
1 onion sliced or chopped
1 pepper sliced or chopped
2 gloves garlic minced

Heat the pot, then add the oil, and then add garlic and stir until u smell the aroma, then add ur onions, peppers, stewed tomatoes and then your protein

You may need to add a little water. Add whatever beans you like,

I used a package of the 2alarm chili - there should be 4 different powders in it - however spicy is however amount you add. This u and the mazo flour u add towards the end. THe package should have instructions.

With the veggies, u can add more - since I don't have numbers for you, I am just speculating.

You can add salt and pepper for taste.

Pretty easy, in 20 mins or so, you got some good chili

I serve it with brown rice, or quinoa or even corn bread and a good slice of whole wheat bread.

Ciao,

Enjoy

Sue
