Carol is Mary McDougall's sister. This is one of her family's favorite healthy recipes. This is a fast and easy meal and it makes enough for leftovers for lunch later in the week.
Serves: 6
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 25 min
Ingredients
1
Onion, chopped
3 Cloves
Garlic, minced
1/2 Cup
Water
2-4 Ounce Cans
Green chilies, chopped
1 Tbsp
Cumin
1 Tbsp
Oregano
1 Tsp
Cinnamon
1 Tsp
Chili powder
1 Tsp
Cayenne
5 Cups
Vegetable broth
6-15 Ounce Cans
Great northern beans
1 1/2 Cups
Seitan or baked tofu, cut into bite-sized pieces (optional)
Directions
1
Place the onions and garlic in a large pot with the water. Cook, stirring occasionally until onion softens slightly. Add the chilies and the seasonings and cook and stir for another minute. Then add the broth and the beans. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the seitan or tofu, if desired. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes.
Hints: We usually serve this over rice for a very satisfying meal. The seitan or tofu are optional. The chili tastes great without those additions! This freezes well and reheats well. If you prefer to cook your own beans for this recipe, you will need about 9 cups of cooked beans.
