Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 green pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, grated
  • 56 medium diced fresh tomatoes (or use 1 (20 oz) can)
  • 5 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 cups vegetable broth (or water)
  • 4 cups cooked beans (e.g., kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, white beans, or 1 cup of each)
  • 2 tsp coconut sugar (or sub brown sugar or any other sweetener like maple syrup)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt (or less if you use vegetable broth)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 12 hot red chili peppers (to taste)
  • 2 tsp cooking oil of choice

Instructions

  1. Prepare all ingredients by chopping vegetables and measuring spices.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, add oil and sauté onion and green pepper for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic for another 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add diced tomatoes and cook for another 3-5 minutes until they soften and release juices.
  4. Combine all remaining ingredients in the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust thickness by adding more broth if needed.

  6. Serve hot with rice or flatbread and garnish with fresh herbs.
