My Favorite Quinoa Chili

Ingredients :

1 Large Onion

3 Stalks of Celery

1 Red Pepper

Mushrooms (as many as you'd like)

Garlic (crushed and sliced)

Canola Oil

1/4 Cup of Chili Powder

2 (15oz) Cans of Kidney Beans

3 (15oz) Cans of Decided Tomatoes

Quinoa (I use 1 cup of uncooked-2 cups of water)

3 or 4 Cups of Water

Directions:

1.Cook Quinoa, follow directions on bag while preparing the rest of the chili

2.Cut onion, pepper, half of mushrooms and celery and cook with canola oil in a large sauce pot (add crushed garlic)

3.Add chili powder, beans (with or without liquid), tomatoes (with liquid), remaining mushrooms, sliced garlic cooked quinoa and water.

4. Cook 30 minutes and ADD SALT AND PEPPER

Note: the salt and pepper is what gives it flavor and brings out the best of it so do not forget to add. It tastes rather bland without it :)
