Eszter's Chili

Ingredients

1 large onion
3 cloves garlic
3 tbs oil
3/4 cup tvp (texturized vegetable protein)
1-1/2 cups boiling water
salt/pepper
2 carrots, peeled,sliced
1 parsley root, peeled, sliced
1 green or red pepper, cubed
3 romain tomatoes, cubed
1 small can tomatoe paste
1 can kidney beans, drained and washed
1 can black beans (or any other bean), drained and washed
paprika
chili powder

Saute onions and garlic in oil for about 5 mins taking care not
to burn them. When onion is almost tender add tvp (which has
been rehydrated with the boiling water) and salt/pepper to taste.
Saute for a couple more minutes. Add all the vegetables, the
tomatoe paste and a litte water (couple of tablespoons) to start
the whole thing sauteing. After about 10 minutes when the vegetables are almost done add the paprika, the chili powder (I usually add lots and lots) & the beans. More water will need to be added to make a sauce for the chili. I usually add enough to
almost cover the beans and then let it simmer another 15-20 minutes to let the sauce thicken and the veggies cook. Enjoy!!
