Delicious Vegetarian Chilli

Serves 3-4

1 Onion, Chopped
1 Large red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 zucchini or summer squash chopped
1 carrot chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pinch of chili pepper flakes
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teasponn ground cumin
2 cups ganned red kidney beans
1 can black beans
2 cups chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup of tequilla or light beer (corona is good)
salt and cayenne pepper

To make the chili put the olive oil in a big pot, let it heat up and add onions. Cook until the onions become translucent then add the alcohol. Allow to boil until reduced to half. Add garlic, peppers, carrot, zucchini, corriander, cumin, cayenne pepper. Cover and cook until vegetables become soft.

Secret to cooking beans (never cook them in the water they originally cooked in or were canned in- thats what causes indigestion) Rinse very well then add to chili. Also add tomatoes and salt to taste, cover and allow to simmer gently for ten minutes.

Good Garnishes: Cilantro, sour cream, avocado, mexican shredded cheese. Serve and ENJOY!
