I get inspiration for meals from seeing what other people are cooking, making my own version up. That's the fun part of cooking. I saw a couple of recipes for CHILI, so decided to make one myself.
Ingredients
2 — large onions, chopped
7 — garlic cloves, chopped
2 tblsp. — olive oil
1 tsp — cumin seeds
1 — hot red pepper or 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional to your taste)
3 cans — kidney beans
1 can — diced tomatoes or your own fresh tomatoes, chopped
1 1/2 cup — water
2 cups — frozen corn or two cans corn
1 tblsp. — oregano
2 tblsp. — chili powder (deluxe from Frontier Herbs)
1/4 cup — chopped fresh basil if you have any (optional)
1 tsp — tamari, especially if your beans have no salt added (or more if you want)
Method
Saute two large chopped onions and about seven chopped garlic cloves in two tablespoons of olive oil. Start with the onion first, later adding the garlic, as it cooks faster. Throw in a teaspoon of cumin seeds and if you like hot foods, a chopped dry hot red pepper, or some red pepper flakes.
