Tvp Chili

Ingredients

Directions

Soak about 1 cup of TVP in boiling water, to cover, with several tbsp taco seasoning, extra chili powder, and salt to taste. Let it sit until the TVP has soaked up much of the water and flavor from the spices.

Meanwhile, sauté 1 chopped green pepper, 1 chopped med/large onion, and 1-2 cloves finely chopped garlic in wine or balsamic vinegar until the onion is translucent.

Stir in one can of diced tomatoes (~16 oz), one or two cans of drained and *rinsed* kidney beans, one can of tomato sauce (8 oz), chili powder, and 1/2-1 tsp dried basil (or several chopped leaves if fresh).

Drain excess liquid from the TVP (so there isn't a puddle of water. it can still be wet) and add to the rest.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or more.

My family of 3 boys and my husband refuse to eat anything "healthy"...well I made this tvp chili, but did not tell them what was in it. Well between the 4 of them they finished the pot. So excellent!! Easily used to "fool" non vegetarians! over 4 years ago by dknowles
