Binnie's chili
Okay after I was finished with my room I became bored again.
So I decided to make chili
Now before you try to make this stuff...Remember this is not for those who have pansy tongues...But those who are from place of extreme spice may find this sweet.
I have never made chili before as traditionally it is a meat eaters entree. And I have had some difficulty finding a good recipe on the net or in my large number of cook books. So being the person I am I decided to invent my own chili from what I had in the kitchen.
here is what I used.
1 can of tomato soup
1 onion chopped
1 clove of garlic chopped
1 can of kidney beans drained and rinsed
1/2 a yellow pepper
5 dried chilies chopped
4 Sun dried tomatoes chopped
5 cherry tomatoes hauled and quartered
1 stick of celery chopped
5 mini carrots chopped
1 hand full of broccoli florets
2 cups of TVP (texture vegetable protein)
2 cans of water f( I used the tomato can to measure the water)
I fried the onions, garlic and peppers all together with a dash of olive oil
added the can of tomato soup and the 2 cans of water. Brought the mixture to a boil and added the can of kidney beans. Followed by the TVP. I allowed that to boil for a while then I added the veggies and tomatoes and stirred. Then I spiced her up.
I used the end of my cayenne pepper, a bay leaf, oregano and basil. Stirred and let simmer for 20 minutes.
I can't wait for tomorrow when I bake up some potatoes and stuff them with this stuff and top with a bit of cheese.
Okay the spell check will not work...But I will try to edit tomorrow...This was the case with my previous blog too....
