2 tsp olive oil
1 each onion, large chopped
1 each green pepper, med., chopped
1 each zucchini, thinly sliced
1 cup corn kernals
14 oz tomatoes, canned plum w/juic
3 tsp tamari
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp thyme
1 cayenne dash
2 1/2 cup kidney beans (1 c. raw)
1 green chilis, as relish
1 cheese wedges, as side
1 onions chopped, as topping
Directions
Use cooked beans, or cook one cup of dry kidneys (or pintos) beans in
3 cups of water in a pressure cooker. Add a bay leaf or two, some
chili powder, cumin, a chopped onion, and perhaps a green pepper to
the water. Clean the dry beans and cook about 30-40 minutes in a
pressure cooker. Heat the oil in very large skillet. When it is hot,
add the onion and saute over moderately low heat until the onion is
translucent. Add the green pepper and saute until it softens
somewhat. Add the remaining ingredients, including the beans, and
simmer over very low heat for 15 minutes stirring occasionally.
Serve on its own in bowls garnished with a chili and cheese, or even
better over brown rice.

The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be observed back into distant history, in truth as far into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, sadly, these old cook books were just basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
As we move on, there were a couple of interesting cookery books dating from the 14th Century - a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are not about the spicy food that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of food cooked for the upper classes. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new tastes caused an increase in cookery books, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. The arrival of television gave us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
We hope you enjoy this Chili recipe.
