Glorious Beans

Vegan Bean & Vegetable Chili

This is quick to prepare chili, by making use of pre-made chili seasoning mix, but it's so rich & tasty you won't even mind. Substitute whatever beans and veggies you have on hand!

1 small onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 Tbsp. tomato paste

1 small sweet pepper ( any color)

3 carrots diced and steamed or you can used canned

1/2 can organic canned corn, drained ( or whatever you have on hand)

2 small cans of beans strained ( I used a mixture of Kidney, black bean, and Navy )

1 16- oz can whole tomatoes

4-5 leaved Chard, chopped small

1 pkg chili seasoning mix

Salt and Pepper to taste

Heat large pot and medium and dry-sauté the onion, peppers, and garlic, add water by the teaspoon, as necessary to prevent sticking, until tender. Add the tomato paste and chili seasoning mix and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and cook over medium heat, partially covered for about 30 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.

I served over a brown rice, and quinoa blend.
