Sharing a super-easy, super-yummy, super-filling meal with all my mfp peeps:
Easy Black Bean Chili:
4 cups cooked black beans
1 jar (16 oz) of your favorite salsa
1 diced onion
2 diced green bell peppers
2 cups water
½ Tblsp cumin
2 tsp garlic powder
Combine all ingredients and cook on medium-high (low boil) until onions and peppers are soft, stirring occasionally.
Easy Polenta:
1 cup medium-coarse ground cornmeal
3 ¼ cups water
Pinch of salt
1 Tblsp vegan chix bullion
Bring water, salt and bullion to a boil. Turn to medium/medium-high heat and slowly add the cornmeal, stirring constantly. Cook for 10-15 minutes, continually stirring. It will bubble and spit at you, so be careful.
At this point, it is still mold-able, so I put ½ cup into a bowl and pour 1 cup of chili over it. The polenta will set quite fast, so this is when I scoop it into the ½ cup measure, press it down, then turn it onto a plastic plate to let it cool and set.
