Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Soak beans in cold water to cover 8 hrs or overnight.
Step #2 drain.
Step #3 mix crumbled tempeh, soy, basil, wine, cumin, chili; let marinate for 2 hrs at least.
Step #4 Meanwhile, in a 6 qt.
Step #5 pan over medium high heat, saute onions in sherry & oil 10 mins, stirring.
Step #6 Add mushroom & cook 10 more mins.
Step #7 Add tomatoes, jalapenos, celery, green pepper, chili, carrot, garlic.
Step #8 Saute stirring 5 mins.
Step #9 Add beans, stock, tomato paste.
Step #10 Bring to boil, lower heat, cover, simmer 2 to 3 hrs till beans are tender.
Step #11 Add tempeh & marinade.
Step #12 cook 10 mins.
Step #13 Serve garnished with chips.
Step #14 NOTES: This is a midwestern chili (beans & tomatoes!).
Step #15 I added some leftover crushed tomatoes, & we garnished it with non-fat sour cream & sliced cilantro (better for you than corn chips).
Step #16 A more traditional chili style would be to relplace all tomatos with a red chili sauce: split & de-seed dry red anchos, anahiems, and/or gujanailos (sp?) & sear on a hot cast iron skillet.
Step #17 put in a bowl & cover by boiling water.
Step #18 let soak 20 min, then puree, maybe with a little garlic (and usually salt, but not for this recipe!).
Step #19 Use that instead of tomato paste & crushed tomato.
Step #20 Enjoy, Keith.
