Mixed Bean Chili by Andrew J. Infante from Veg Cook Book aji@geri.duke.edu So, I added 1 cup of tvp to 2 cups of water, with a few tbls of chili powder and 4-5 cloves of garlic, minced, and simmered (boiled) in a pan, to create the "meat" for the chili. 3 large bell peppers (red, green, yellow - very nice looking! :), chopped More and more garlic (I'm italian :) I forgot turmeric, and realized that that's what give chili alot of flavor Chili powder - about 1/8 cup :0 - I like it HOT! (well, maybe more like 1/12 cup) 2 large chopped onions 5-6 medium tomatoes, chopped 1 can (8oz) tomato paste 1 can (16 oz) tomato puree Red and green hot peppers (chilis and jalepenos, enough for making the brow sweat! :) 2 cups black beans, (about, I didn't really measure anything!), softened 2-3 cups red pinto beans (same as above) (these were boiled for 'bout 10 minutes, then soaked 24 hours prior) 1/8 cup nutritional yeast (flavor ~cheezy) 2 More cups mixed softened beans, pulverized in food processor After the TVP is brazed (? whatever...) in the pan - enough to look like meat (for me, I need that), add everything else. Beware, this makes _alot_ of chili! (also added to the pot was about 6 cups of water to mix everything together) Cook for about 5 hours at low heat (it doesn't have to - I left the house and it kept cooking...:)
