came in the mail (yay!), so I decided to try some shots. Can you believe that there is a FOOD MODE just for taking food pictures?! A food blogger's dream.On to the chili!
Very VERY easy recipe- I just kind of threw things in the pot as I went along.
1 package Tempeh
3 C tomato sauce (jarred)
4 mushrooms (baby bella), chopped
drizzle of olive oil
2 cans beans (I used red kidney and pinto), drained and rinsed
1/2 C frozen peas (Brenton likes peas...)
1 T crushed garlic (jarred)
2 C water (more if needed)
Franks Red Hot Sauce (a lot... as always)
Typical chili spices to taste- Chili Powder, Salt, Pepper, Cumin, Paprika
What a nice picture! Anyway, all I did to start was chop up the tempeh and throw it in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil, the crushed garlic, a handful of mushrooms, and a number of good shakes of Franks. I let it brown in the pan a couple of minutes (on medium heat) until it started to crisp a little bit. (I'm still getting used to the camera... sorry blurry shot!)
Hello action shot!! Look at that swirl!! All I did was throw in the rest of the ingredients and stir like crazy.
Let it simmer a good 10 minutes or so with the lid off so it thickens up a little bit. Look at the veggies and tempeh in there! SO HEARTY AND YUMMY!!
In the bowl it goes!!
HOLY YUM, BATMAN! This made 7 servings- we ate 2 of them, have one in the fridge for Brenton's dinner tomorrow night (I'm going to a rummage sale after work- YAY!) and have the rest in mason jars in the freezer. Such a simple and quick meal to make. We added up the calories, and it's only 175 calories per bowl of heavenly chili goodness. NOT TOO BAD!!!
Have a lovely evening, all! Time for bed!
