4-6
ingredients
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 3 -4 fresh garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 (15 ounce) can hominy
- 1 cup kidney bean, rinsed
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed
- 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (15 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, undrained and chopped a bit
- 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
-
OPTIONAL
- 8 ounces textured vegetable protein (I use TVP that comes in larger chunks as it has a chewier texture, but you can use any kind.)
- 1⁄2 - 1 cup water or 1/2-1 cup vegetable broth, as needed
directions
- Saute garlic in the canola oil in a large sauce pan or small pot.
- Stir in the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
- If using TVP, add water if chili gets too thick as TVP will absorb liquid pretty quickly.
- Garnish with cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream.

Beyond the initial recipe, this is a great base to play with. I threw in some chopped onion, bell pepper, and Jalapeno with the garlic. Used the whole can of both beans. Added cayenne and chili powder. Served it over a bit of brown rice. Smashing!<br/>It's even satisfying out of Tupperware at room temperature during a long day on campus.

Veggie chilis are all the same, right? WRONG! This one is far superior, which I assume is due to the hominy. Here are the modifications I made: I used an entire 15 oz. can of each of the beans, and a 20 oz. can of hominy. I omitted the tvp. I threw in about 2 tsp. of regular chili powder and about a tsp. of ancho chili powder. This chili had a really nice, filling feeling to it. I served it with just a tiny sprinkle of reduced fat cheese. Thanks for this exellent recipe!
