Black Bean Chilli

Legumes - Black bean - -

INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon oil
2 cups chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup seeded and chopped red or green bell pepper
4 cups cooked or canned black beans
2 cups vegetable stock or water
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (coriander)
2 tablespoons sugar
Chilli powder to taste (lots!)
1 cup chopped plum tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste

METHOD

Saute onions in oil over a medium high heat for 10 minutes. Add celery, carrots and peppers and saute 5 minutes more, stirring a lot. Add everything else and bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer, covered, for at least an hour.

NOTES

This is really good covered with extra cilantro and chopped green onions and a little nutritional yeast. Oh, and I adapted this from a recipe in 'Vegetarian Times'.
