Vegetarian Chili

I like weekends because I have time to cook things that take more than 15 minutes to prepare. Today I made vegetarian chili. Sam is on a new diet and this is high in protein and low in fat.

First saute in 2 tablespoons of Canola oil:
Chopped red, yellow, and/or orange peppers
Onion
Garlic
Celery





Next crumble extra firm tofu into pot and continue to saute:



Add about 1 tablespoon chili powder and one teaspoon crushed red pepper:





Add 2 cans of stewed tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar:





Finally add 2 cans of beans - I like Garbanzo beans and kidney beans:



Let simmer for 20 minutes, pour glass of wine and enjoy the smells and then eat!
