This chili is SO easy to make. You can pretty much throw whatever you have into the pot and it'll be great. (I added some leftover salsa once.) It's very colorful, not to mention delicious.

VEGETARIAN CHILI (LOW GI)

This is a bit different as it uses burghul. If you prefer you can substitute the burghul with brown rice but it will increase the GI. It will still remain within the low-GI range however. Australian measurements used.
