INSTRUCTIONS
~---------------------IN--------------------------- : Good saltfree or low-salt : -- vegetable stock ~---------PLACE IN CROCKPOT OR KETTLE--------------- : More stock as needed : -- underdone pinto beans : -- mushroom soy sauce * : -- coffee, about : -- to 2) : -- (won't taste like : -- PB--just : -- adds richness), up to 2 : LOTS of good chili powder; : -- preferably saltfree since : -- soy adds a fair amount of : -- salt : Garlic to taste : Hot chiles and black pepper : -- to taste I buy a saltfree version from the neighborhood herb store; I think it's from Frontier, but wouldn't swear to it. It's good. (My chili, being vegetarian, has other ingredients containing salt, so the additional salt in regular chili powder would be too much.) I posted this a long time ago, but what the heck, it's chili weather here in the Northern Hemisphere, so I'll throw it in again. Unlike most chilis in vegetarian cookbooks, it's designed to taste and look as much as possible like a good meat-and-beans chili of the neighborhood-diner variety, only much hotter, and to have the same mouthfeel. I think I got real close, if I do say so myself; odd though some of the recipe may look, it works. (cheap at Asian markets; don't omit, and if you must substitute regular soy, add a reconstituted shiitake mushroom and its soaking liquid to the blender above.) On stovetop, simmer all till beans are tender. Or in crockpot, cook 2-3 hours on High and overnight on Low, stirring from the bottom as you lower the heat.
