Easy Vegetarian Chili

Photo: rewolf

Ingredients

2 mediums onions, chopped

1 teaspoon olive oil

2 mediums sweet potatoes, washed and cubed

1 envelope/packet of chili seasoning

1 ounce can whole peeled tomatoes - tomatoes cut into large

1/2 cup uncooked bulger wheat

2 ounces cans black beans, thoroughly rinsed and drained

In a large pan, saute onions and garlic in olive oil, until onions are soft and everyone comes into the kitchen to ask what smells so good.

Add 5 cups of water and bring to a rolling boil.

Add sweet potatoes to the water and boil for 10-12 minutes. Sweet potatoes should still be slightly firm when forked.

Reduce heat to a simmer, and add chili seasoning, tomatoes, bulger wheat.

Simmer 9-10 minutes, then add beans. If it seems a bit too thick, add some of the reserved tomato juice.

Continue to simmer until heated through.

On a scale of 1-10, where 1 = "this could be fed to a wee child" and 10 = "my face is on fire", this comes in at a fairly mild "4".
