What's For Dinner?

What's for dinner? Vegan chili. This is a quick, easy, and delicious recipe. Start cooking rice, if you like rice with your chili. Then cut up and saute an onion in a large pot with a cover. Add Texturized Vegetable Protein (TVP) and brown it in the oil and onions. Open, drain and rinse two cans of different beans. Black beans and pinto beans are a good choice, but any two different kinds of beans will do. Add these to the pot. Open a can of tomato sauce (not spaghetti sauce - just plain tomato sauce). Add this to the other ingredients and stir. Now you can get creative. Take any leftover vegetables that you cut up but did not use out of your freezer. They could be peppers, mushrooms, corn, whatever, and add them to the mix. Now you really get creative. Add seasonings - salt and pepper, I prefer freshly ground peppercorns, and unprocessed sea salt, soy sauce (I prefer low sodium), hot sauce, organic blackstrap molasses, and, or course chili. Serve with rice and a salad. Vegan chili is even better the next day after all the flavors have mingled overnight. Enjoy!!!
