chili mock carne

Desciption

yes, it's a vegetarian chili con carne using tvp instead of beef. i actually served it up to my family and my dad and brother didn't really seem to notice the lack of meat so it's a great way to sneak in a vegetarian meal! it's also a great meal for kids (maybe just reduce the quantity of chili though) as you use those supermarket dinner rolls or corn chips to scoop it up...it's messy but it's fun!

Steps

Spray a saucepan with olive oil and add in the garlic and onions
Saute until onions are tender
Add the beans
Capsicum and carrot
Stir frying until the vegies soften
Add the tvp and stir for 1-2 minutes
Mix together the water
Tomato puree and chopped tomatoes and stir into the vegetable mixture
Bring to the boil
Lower the heat and add the chili powder
Cumin
Oregano
Parsley
Soy sauce
Red kidney beans and pepper to taste
Cover the pan and allow to simnmer for 20-30 minutes
Serve in bowls
Accompanied by bread rolls or corn chips
