Colorful Vegetarian Chili

The vegetable juice adds a nice flavor to this simple recipe. Be sure to get one with no added sugar. After it has cooked about 4 minutes, taste it, and adjust the seasoning to your liking.

Makes 6 servings

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons oil of your choice
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 large onion
• 1 pound carrots
• 3 small bell peppers ( use any color or combination)
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
• 1 can navy or cannelloni beans drained and rinsed
• 1 can vegetarian re-fried beans
• 1 large can crushed tomatoes
• 1 16 ounce jar vegetable juice (spicy is fine too)

Chili seasoning blend of your choice or:

• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons coriander
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• Salt/ Pepper and hot sauce to taste

Method:

Crush and mince garlic.  Chop onion.  In a heavy sauce pan saute in oil the onions and garlic until onions are transparent.  Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Chop all remaining vegetables into fork size pieces.  (Remember that they will shrink a little after cooking.)

Add the remaining vegetables, beans and tomatoes and juice. Stir this all together adding the seasoning to taste.  Bring it to a boil and then lower the heat so you have a steady but low simmer.  Let this cook ½ hour, then taste and season again. 

Chili can cook on very low heat for a up to two hours, or be served as is.

Crock pot option - After onions and garlic are sauteed, simply add the rest of the ingredients with them to a crock pot.  Cook 4 hours on highest setting.

Serve immediately, freeze after it cools, or store in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
