Re: Vegetable Dishes
I don't know if this recipe belongs under this title for sure, but it's a vegetarian chili that's packed with veggies & super good! I got the basic recipe from a cookbook, but I've added to it considerably:
Kasha Chili
• 1 good-sized onion
• 1 large green pepper
• 28oz. chunky tomato sauce
• 3 cups of water
• 2 cans of beans (whatever you like)
• about 1 cup of chopped celery
• a few handfuls of chopped kale (I had this frozen after reading a tip from Mothering magazine that kale gets more bitter as it ages. So, you should grate, shred or chop it & freeze it in freezer bags...taking it out in chunks or handfuls as you need it.)
•1 T chili powder
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 1/2 t. cumin
• 1 t. paprika
• 1/4 t. pepper
• salt to taste
• 3/4 cup of kasha/buckwheat groats
Saute onion & pepper & then add to the pot with everything except the kasha. Bring to a boil. Add kasha. Simmer 15 minutes. YUM!
