So about a week or so ago I discovered this fabulous blog, Zen Habits, that for the most part is about simplifying your life and therefore giving you more time to work on the things that truly matter to you. And not only that, but the writer, Leo Babauta, occasionally shares some pretty damn good vegetarian/vegan recipes, including this three bean chili (recipe about halfway down the page, after some information about why vegetarianism is good fer ya). I just prepared it tonight, pretty much exactly as it is written, let it simmer for like an hour, and holy shit it was amazing. The one caveat – the recipe is huge. It could probably feed like six people – or, as will probably end up being the case for us, it will make three meals for two people.
It is a great sort of recipe to cook to introduce people to vegetarian entrees who usually don’t eat them, and while they are eating the delicious chili, you can tell them about the health benefits of eating less meat, and they are more likely to listen than when you feed them trail mix and carrot sticks. Enjoy!!!
