3 medium onions, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
2 lb tofu chunks
2 tbsp each ground red chilis, cumin, oreg, ano
1 bay leaf
2 cup water
2 28 oz. cans tomatos
6 oz can tomato paste
2 can kidney beans salt to taste
Recipe Preparation
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 tblsp of cayenne
pepper can make this gradually more spicy. As the recipe reads, itUs
fairly tame. NOTE: The ground chilis are NOT chili powder. Most
chili powder is made up of a combination of chilis, oregano, cumin,
salt and garlic. If chili powder is all you can find, then you will
have to readjust the cumin and oregano amounts.
