Chili without Carne

its the seasonings and beans
that make great chili

1 Tbsp olive oil
1or 2 onions, chopped fine
3 cloves garlic
1 sweet pepper chopped
1 or more hot peppers chopped
canned tomatoes, tomato juice, tomato puree
about 6 cups total or more
1/2 tsp coriander
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp allspice
2 tsp oregano
2 Tbsp brown sugar (sweetener of choice)
2 Tbsp chili powder
2 Tbsp cumin
                                                          1 can each of black beans, kidney beans and a white bean
                                                          1 can of corn (drain beans & corn to remove excess salt)
                                                          cooked rice if you like rice with your chili
                                                          top serving bowl with shredded cheese

In a dutch oven or large heavy pan heat the oil and saute the onions, garlic and peppers. Add tomatoes and all the rest of ingredients except the rice. Simmer all day. Use a large crock pot to simmer if desired.

Don't be put off by the long list of ingredients, they are mostly all seasonings.
The seasonings mellow with age, therefore the flavors are good now and better later on.
This is a good recipe for a crowd.
Add ground beef, sausage, turkey chunks if you miss the meat.
Or add a coarse grain, cooked, like a bulgur or maybe a barley.
