Vegetarian Chili

This chili is simple, nutritious, filling, and SO SO yummy!  Really, you have to give it a try before snubbing your nose at something vegetarian.
The recipe: Vegetarian Chili


6-7 medium tomatoes (any med.-lg. variety)
2 jalapeno chills, cored, seeded and diced
3 cloves garlic diced
1 onion chopped
2 Tbl. e.v.o.o. (extra virgin olive oil)
1 sweet yellow bell pepper
1 small can tomato paste

1 can pinto beans (rinsed & drained)
1 can black beans (rinsed & drained)
1 & 1/2 cup bulgur (wheat product you can find in the grain/all natural section of the store – Bob’s Red Mill makes one common variety)
3 cups water (more if needed at the end)
3 tsp. all-seasons salt (I used Simply Organic’s brand – great taste and cute jar, plus it’s organic!)
1/2 tsp. fresh ground black pepper

Shredded/diced cheddar cheese for topping (omit to make this vegan)
Tortilla chips for topping

Directions:

1. Chop onions, saute in e.v.o.o. until tender
2. Wash and chop tomatoes and peppers, add those and cook for 30 min on med.-low
3. Add beans, tomato paste, bulgur, water, and seasonings.  Cook for 2-3 hours
*You can also do this in the slow cooker, although it’ll probably come out tasting a little different. Add all ingredients and cook for 6-8 hours on low.  IF you are home, I would cook everything, but leave out the bulgur until the last 2 hours.*
4. Serve with cheese (omit to make vegan) and tortillas on top!

Happy Cooking,
