Vegetarian Chilli ----------------- My classic meal prep choice. :term:`Easy`, :term:`Leftovers`, :term:`Freezes`, :term:`Vegetarian` Ingredients ^^^^^^^^^^^ * One large can of :term:`black beans ` * One medium can of small :term:`red beans `. Kidney beans are fine * One large can of :term:`Tomatoes ` * :term:`Onion` * :term:`Garlic` * :term:`Ginger` .. hint:: Fresh or dry beans are possible, just prepare them beforehand. Steps ^^^^^ Take a large pot and fry the ginger, onion and garlic in olive oil, diced into medium pieces. Add the whole can of tomatoes. Season with salt, a bay leaf, a couple pieces of star anise, smoked paprika, a bit of oregano, chilli powder, and a bit of white wine. Let it simmer for 5 minutes. Rinse the beans thoroughly and add them to the pot. Add water to just cover the beans and cook for up to 30 minutes. Take out 20% of the stew and smash the beans open, then pour it back in. Using the bottom of a glass on the pot directly is fine, just be careful to not overdo it. Adjust the seasoning, it should be quite spicy. Fish out the star anise, and splash a bit of vinegar. Serve as is with some soft cheese on top, or over rice or quinoa. .. tip:: Before reheating, add a bit of water.
