Crock Pot Chili

Legumes - Mixed - -

INGREDIENTS

1 onion
2 small zucchini
1 small garlic clove
8 oz / 225 g mushrooms, chopped
1 can black olives (any size, sliced in half)
1 large can crushed tomatoes
1 can EACH: red kidneys, garbanzo beans, white kidneys, black beans
2 1/2 cups prepared brown rice (rice soaks up the extra moisture that comes from crock pot cooking and makes a complete protein with the beans)
1/8 t powdered red pepper
1 t cumin
2 t oregano (or substitute your favorite chili seasonings)

METHOD

Chop vegetables and lay on bottom of crock pot. Add tomatoes, seasonings, beans, and rice. Do not mix together. Turn crock pot to low and let cook 6-8 hours. Stir mixture and serve.

NOTES

I decided to dust off my crockpot after not having used it since I went veg last july. (Just celebrated my 9mo. anniversary as a vegetarian! *grin*). I had some recipes on file that I sent to a vegetarian list I moderate on Yahoo. I can't remember where the original post came from, but I'm making it for supper tonight, and right now it just smells heavenly! And it's vegan too!

It calls for 2 1/2 cups prepared brown rice. I wasn't quite sure if that meant 2 1/2 cups cooked brown rice or what (I'm pretty sure it wasn't uncooked or else I'd have a big mess later). I added about 1/2 cup uncooked rice (a wild blend).
