This is an absolutely amazing vegetarian chili recipe from the wife of a VeriSign sysadmin at a get-together we had. I didn’t even notice that there was no meat in it!
Chop 2 large onions and saute them in about 1/4 c. olive oil.
Add 2 chopped green peppers and some minced garlic (I used 3 cloves).
Saute for awhile.
Add 1 tsp. ground cumin, 1/2 tsp. chili powder (I use more) and salt and pepper.
Add 3 large (28 oz.) cans diced tomatoes (used 2 cans “fire roasted” and 1 regular).
Add 3 large (25 oz.) cans kidney beans, drained.
You can add more beans and/or tomatoes depending on how many you’re serving and how you like it. Can also use some garbanzo or black beans in place of, or in addition to, the kidney beans.
Add 1 can beer and 1 tbsp sugar.
Let it stew for a while. Taste to see what else it needs.
Serve with plain yogurt (or sour cream), grated cheese, fresh cilantro and cornbread.
