Simple and basic chili meant to warm you up and still entertain your taste buds. Normally when I make chili I don't measure anything as it depends on everyone's tastes if it will be good or not, but I'll try for
you.
Chili Recipe:
1 cup of Texturized Vegetable Protein (boiled for ten minutes, washed and drained)
1 can of Diced Tomatoes
1 handful of Fresh Tomatoes
1 Fresh Jalapeno Pepper (half de-seeded if you want a bit spicy)
1/2 tbl of Cinnamon
1/2 a tsp of Chili Powder
2 cloves of Minced Garlic
1/2 of a Minced Large Onion
1/2 of a Small Green Bell Pepper
A dash of Paprika
Olive oil (or preferred olive oil)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Sauté the fresh ingredients together in a pot with olive oil until they are tender, then add all of the spices and seasonings except for the cinnamon. Once the smells of the seasonings mixed with the vegetables have begun to permeate through the air, add the canned tomatoes and the texturized vegetable protein (plus a bit more Paprika). Let that stew together for about 5 minutes, adding liquid as you want - then add the cinnamon in increments, tasting (with a different spoon) as you go. Once it is heated up and has come together, serve it in a bowl with those delicious and cheesy crackers, and eat until your heart's content. If you want to add a brighter and much fresher flavor, definitely add some sliced green onions on top - don't use chives.
Enjoy!
