Sandy's Chili

Recipe Ingredients

1/3 cup	78ml	Oil
3 cups	187g / 6.6oz	Onions - chopped (medium)
2		Celery - chopped
4		Garlic - minced
1		Bell pepper - chopped
1		Jalapeno pepper - minced
2 lbs	908g / 32oz	Tofu chunks
2 tablespoons	30ml	Ground red chiles - cumin, oregano
1		Bay leaf
2 cups	474ml	Water
2		Tomatoes
1		Tomato paste
2		Kidney beans - salt to taste

Recipe Instructions

Saute first five ingredients in oil until limp. Add tofu and saute until browned. Mix the spices together in a bowl and sprinkle into the pot.

Mix thoroughly. Add water, tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. If desired, at this point, add the kidney beans. Taste and correct seasoning. The addition of 1 tsp to 1 tbs of cayenne pepper can make this gradually more spicy. As the recipe reads, it's fairly tame.

NOTE: The ground chiles are NOT chili powder. Most chili powder is made up of a combination of chiles, oregano, cumin, salt and garlic. If chili powder is all you can find, then you will have to readjust the cumin and oregano amounts.
