    1/3   c            Olive oil
  2       md           Onions, chopped
  4                    Cloves garlic, minced
  2                    Jalapeno peppers, chopped
  1                    Mild pepper, chopped
  1                    Red pepper, chopped
  1                    Green pepper, chopped
  2       lg           Tomatoes, diced
  8       oz           Tomato sauce
  2       cn           Rotel Tomatoes and Chilis
  2                    15-oz cans dark red kidney
                       Beans
  3       c            Water
  4       tb           Chili powder
  2       tb           Cumin
  1       tb           Paprika
  1       tb           Oregano
  1       tb           Lemon juice
                       Salt, pepper to taste
                       Tabasco to taste
  1       c            Textured Vegetable Protein

  Saute onions, garlic, and peppers in oil until onions
 are translucent. Add spices and simmer for two
 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients, adding the TVP(R)
 last. You can adjust the amount of TVP(R) to obtain the
 desired texture and consistency. You can substitute
 beer for the water for a more unique flavor. One
 jalapeno makes a mild chili (two were used for the
 cookoff). Simmer from four to six hours. It's even
 better the next day.

  This was the Third Place Winner and Best of Show
 trophy winner at the 4th Annual Lone Star Vegetarian
 Chili Cookoff held in Dallas in October. It was
 submitted by the Animal Connection of Texas members
 Mitch and Debbie Thompson, Cam Reilly and Cheryl
 Witchgers.
