THREE BEAN VEGETARIAN CHILI

Three Bean Vegetarian Chili

This is a recipe video I found on Live Life 365. I changed it to canned tomatoes from fresh, and used the same spices I do with traditional chili.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil

1 large sweet onion, coarsely chopped

3-4 cloves garlic, sliced thin

1 15oz can organic fire roasted diced tomatoes

1 15oz can organic tomato sauce

1 cup red quinoa, uncooked

1 15oz can organic pinto beans, drained

1 15oz can organic black beans, drained

1 15 oz can organic kidney beans, drained

1 tsp ground red pepper

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp sea salt

1 tsp dried oregano

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

1 1/2 tbsp cumin

1 1/2 tbsp chili powder

Directions:

Heat a large skillet and add olive oil, put in onions and saute for about 5 min.

Meanwhile in another pan cook the quinoa according to directions, it is prepared the same as rice.

Add the garlic to the onions, saute about 5 min. more.

Add tomatoes, sauce, and spices. Bring to a boil.

Add the beans, lower heat and simmer for 20 - 30 min.

Fold in the quinoa, and cook down about 15 min.
