I made a pot of homemade veggie chili today, and 00000h was it hot! I followed the recipe, added the jalapeno pepper, used the amount of chili powder and cumin listed, and thought as I added items, this is going to be hotter than my normal version. I was right! But it cleared the sinuses, and I am still breathing better than normal.
Easy recipe:
Put 1 or 2 tsp. olive oil in dutch oven.
Add 1 chopped green pepper and 1 med. chopped onion.
Cook about 2 minutes, then add 2 minced cloves of garlic and 1 chopped jalapeno pepper. Cook 2 more minutes.
Stir in 1 Tbs. dried oregano, 2 tsp. chili powder, 1 tsp. cumin
Add 1 lg. can diced tomatoes, 1 sm can tomato sauce, and 2 cups water.
Stir, add 1 can each rinsed and drained white cannellini beans and 1 can kidney beans.
Stir in 1/3 cup bulgur. I did not have this and couldn't find it at the store so substituted barley. Works fine.
We had this for our supper, and needed nothing else. Not even a cracker! And yes, it was hot, did I mention that?
One other thing, we drank more water than usual with the meal....ha
Still warm, and thankful for all God's blessings,
Grandma in the yellow house
