This is a wonderful vegetarian recipe from the Cornucopia Restaurant which was in South Bend, IN. It makes a very large pot of chili. Freeze leftovers for a future meal, or cut ingredients in half for a normal pot of chili.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups dry kidney beans
1 1/2 cups dried pinto beans
9 cups water
24 ounces textured vegetable protein
3 1/2 cups boiling water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 cups chopped onion
4 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons salt
4 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon molasses
1 tablespoon honey
3 (10 ounce) cans chile sauce
1 (28 ounce) can tomato puree
3 (29 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
Directions:
1. Place beans in a large saucepan, and cover with water. Soak overnight in the refrigerator. Drain, and return to pan. Add 9 cups water; cook for 1 1/2 hours, or until tender.
2. Meanwhile, mix textured vegetable protein and boiling water together in a large bowl. Set aside.
3. In a large saute pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir until soft and translucent.
4. In a large stock pot, combine beans, textured vegetable protein, onions, spices, salt, honey, molasses, chili sauce, tomato puree, and diced tomatoes. Stir to mix well. Simmer, stirring often for at least 1 hour.
