Alz Vegetarian Chili

One recipe Alz Chili Spice Mix (recipe on this site)

1 package soy “meat” crumbles
½ large onion, chopped
2 large elephant garlic cloves, chopped (or one whole bulb)
2 cups fresh or frozen corn sweet corn
3 large fresh jalepenos, chopped roughly
½ cup sweet pepper (red, yellow and/or orange), chopped
2-4 TB Canola oil

One 6 ounce can tomato paste
12 oz water
One 8 ounce can tomato sauce (I use no salt)
One 10-15 ounce can diced tomatoes (I used one that had green chilies in it)
1 TB Worcestershire sauce (you can buy a vegan version)
One 15 ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
6 bay leaves
Kosher salt to taste (optional -- or let each person add their own to their serving)

Sautee onions, garlic, peppers and corn in canola oil until softened. Add crumbles, sprinkle with 1/2 of spice mix, turn up heat and fry for a few minutes.

Reduce heat to lowest setting. Add remainder of ingredients and stir well. Cover pot and simmer for 30-45 minutes. Serve hot over rice or pasta. NOTE: Chili actually tastes much better the next day reheated. I cool it completely, place in 2-4 cup containers, freeze all but the amount I want to eat in the next day or two. But that's me. :-)
