1 t Ground cumin
1 t Dried basil
1 t Chili powder divided
1 c Coarse chopped onions

1 c Minced green peppers

-(usually anahiems -- could

-canned)
2 tb Minced jalapenos
4 Cloves garlic
4 c Vegetable stock
3 tb Tomato paste
-Crushed corn chips for
-garnish

Soak beans in cold water to cover 8 hours or
overnight. drain.

Combine crumbled tempeh, wine, soy, cumin, basil,
chili; let marinate for 2 hours at least.

Meanwhile, in a 6 qt. pan over medium high heat, saute
onions in sherry and oil 10 minutes, stirring. Add
mushroom and cook 10 more minutes.

Add tomatoes, green pepper, carrot, celery, chili,
jalapenos, garlic. Saute stirring 5 minutes.

Add beans, stock, tomato paste. Bring to boil, cover,
lower heat, simmer 2 to 3 hours till beans are tender.

Add tempeh and marinade. cook 10 minutes. Serve
garnished with chips.

NOTES: This is a midwestern chili (beans and
tomatoes!). I added some leftover crushed tomatoes,
and we garnished it with non-fat sour cream and
chopped cilantro (better for you than corn chips). A
more traditional chili style would be to relplace all
tomatos with a red chili sauce: split and de-seed dry
red anchos, anahiems, and/or gujanailos (sp?) and sear
on a hot cast iron skillet. put in a bowl and cover by
boiling water. let soak 20 min, then puree, maybe with
a little garlic (and usually salt, but not for this
recipe!). Use that instead of tomato paste and crushed
tomato.

Enjoy, Keith
