Vegetable Chili

Another alternative to a meat-based chili ? this is one of the tastiest, healthy chili recipes around. Chocked full of tomatoes, celery, onions and peppers, this chili will deliver your daily servings of vegetables as well as a mouthful of great taste. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 2 ª cups chopped fresh tomatoes
  • ª cup soaked sun dried tomatoes
  • 2/3 cup chopped celery
  • ® cup chopped sweet onion
  • 1 cup chopped green pepper
  • 1 jalapeno slice
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro
  • ? tsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • ª tsp coriander
  • 1 tbsp honey
Instructions:

Plan-ahead preparation

  • Soak ª cup sun dried tomatoes for approximately one hour. Place in a small bowl or glass measuring cup and cover with purified water.
  • This recipe calls for red kidney beans, which must be sprouted ahead of time. A sprouted bean has much more nutrition than a dried bean. To sprout, soak 1 cup of red kidney beans in purified water overnight, drain and rinse. Drain and rinse over a two or three-day period until they begin to sprout. Slow cook them on the lowest temperature of a crock-pot until tender.
  • Note: If you want the full health benefits of the beans, complete the sprouting process. Otherwise, canned beans will do fine.

Prepare the chili

  • Place all of the above ingredients in the food processor and puree.
  • Pour mixture in a bowl and gently stir in 2 cups of finely chopped zucchini and ª cup finely chopped sweet onion along with the cup of red kidney beans.
  • Serve alone or over brown rice.
