Vegetarian Chilli a la Team Psychokiwi

By popular demand, here is our vegetarian chilli recipe. We reckon it will
be the highest point of your day - just perfect after a nice walk or
bike-ride, even if your ability is somewhat erratic after being inside all
winter!

Ingredients

2 tablespoons Light olive oil
1 whole Onion, chopped fine
1 head Finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon, each Powdered cumin, coriander, and cayenne
1 pinch Nutmeg
2 cups Peppers, chopped (combination of sweet
and hot peppers depending on what you fancy)
2 cans Beans, rinsed
1 can Fire-roasted crushed tomatoes
1 oz Unsweetened chocolate
1 cup Iceberg lettuce, shredded
1 bag Tortilla chips
1 cup, approx Shredded cheese


Be careful to put the ingredients into the pot in the right order. Start at
sunrise, by heating up the oil in a heavy pan, and then sweat the onion.
When the onion is translucent, stir in the garlic and the spices and sizzle
until aromatic. Put in the peppers (and stand back if you've used lots of
little hotties) and sizzle them until they have softened. Put the beans,
tomatoes, and chocolate into a crockpot and pour in the pan ingredients.
Stir. Go and have some fun. When you get to a suitable point, preheat the
oven to 120 degrees and warm the chips. This recipe may be a little unusual
- off the beaten path even - but if you add all the ingredients correctly,
and put the recipe through its paces, success will be yours. When the chilli
is suitably thickened and tasting good, serve it with lots of cheese on top
of a bed of lettuce and chips.

Hope you like it!

Cheers,
