VEGETARIAN BLACK-BEAN CHILI

Steps:

• In a 5-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes.
• Add zucchini, carrots, chili powder, and cumin. Cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add beans, tomatoes, corn, and 1 cup water. Simmer until slightly thickened and carrots are soft, 8 to 10 minutes more.

VEGETARIAN BEAN AND RICE CHILI

Steps:

VEGETARIAN CUBAN BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Add the beans to a large bowl, cover with water and let stand overnight. Drain and discard the water or cook in a pressure cooker for 18 to 25 minutes (do not discard the water if using the pressure cooker).
• In a large Dutch oven, add the beans, 9 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer for 1 hour until the beans are fork tender.
• In a separate Dutch oven add the onion, green pepper, garlic and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and saute until opaque. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. (If using a pressure cooker, do not use the pressure cooker to saute the beans any further. Use a heavy pot or a Dutch oven.)
• Add the cooked beans, to the pot with the onion mixture, along with the oregano, cumin, bay leaf, vinegar and wine. Cover and simmer over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add additional salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the beans to a serving bowl and serve over the Fail-Proof Brown Rice.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium skillet, add the brown rice and the egg white, stirring constantly over medium heat, until the mixture is dry. Mix the water and bouillon cube in a medium bowl.
• Add a small amount of olive oil to a deep, large baking dish. (Cook's Note: I recommend a clear baking dish so you can monitor the water absorption).
• Pour the bouillon water, rice and egg mixture into the baking dish. Put the dish in the oven, and do not interrupt the cooking process. After 30 minutes, cover with foil and continue to cook for 30 more minutes, a total of 1 hour. Remove from oven, fluff with fork and serve.

VEGETARIAN CHILI WITH BLACK BEANS AND PEPPERS SWEET AND HOT

Steps:

• Heat oil in medium-size Dutch oven over moderate heat for 1 minute. Add onion, celery, stir-fry mix, garlic, cumin, and oregano and cook, stirring often, until vegetables are limp, about 5 minutes.
• Add 2 1/2 cups beans, tomatoes with chilies, orange juice concentrate, lemon juice, and hot pepper sauce. Bring to boiling, adjust heat so mixture bubbles easily, cover, and simmer 10 minutes.
• Mash remaining 1/2 cup beans, mix into chili, cover, and simmer slowly until flavors mellow, about 15 minutes. Taste for salt and adjust as needed. Mound rice in heated deep platter, spoon chili on top, sprinkle with cilantro, and serve.

CROCKPOT VEGETARIAN CHILI WITH BEANS AND BROWN RICE

Steps:

• 1. Combine beans, onions, garlic, bouillon, and water in crock pot. Cook on LOW for 6 hours (or more-I cooked the beans overnight).
• 2. Add remaining ingredients except rice, continue to cook on low for 1-2 hours. Add more water if needed, you want it to be pretty soupy since the rice will absorb a lot of liquid.
• 3. Just before serving, add brown rice and stir to combine.
• 4. Garnish with chopped cilantro, a sprinkle of sharp cheddar, diced green onions.
