Moosewood Red, Gold, Black, and Green Chili image

This is from "Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home" Cookbook. An incredible vegetarian chili. Very quick to make. I add no salt to this recipe and you would never miss it. It is a personal favorite that even my carnivore friends love. This makes a big pot and freezes extremely well.

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup bulgur
1/2 cup hot water
3 cups canned tomatoes, undrained (28 oz can)
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce or 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
2 green bell peppers, chopped
2 cups corn
1 1/2 cups black beans, drained cooked (14 oz can)
1 1/2 cups red kidney beans, drained cooked (14 oz can)
salt
cheddar cheese (optional) or monterey jack cheese (optional)
cilantro (optional)

Steps:

  • Place the bulghur, hot water, and about a cup of the juice from the canned tomatoes in a small saucepan.
  • Cover and bring to a boil on high heat, then lower the heat and simmer gently.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan.
  • Saute the onions, garlic, cumin, chili powder, and Tabasco or cayenne.
  • When the onions are soft, stir in the bell peppers and saute for 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Chop the tomatoes right in the can and add them to the pan (I used canned diced tomatoes instead).
  • Stir the corn and beans, and heat thoroughly on low heat.
  • Taste the bulghur. When it is cooked but still chewy, add it to the pan with its liquid.
  • Cover and simmer for a few minutes for the flavors to meld.
  • Add salt to taste.
  • Serve plain or topped with grated cheese and fresh cilantro.
