    Categories: Chili, Crockpot, Vegetarian
    Yield: 6 Servings

    1 1/2 c Quinoa; uncooked
    3 c Water or bean cooking liquid
    1 1/2 c Cooked kidney beans
    - (1 can);
    - drained & rinsed
    1 1/2 c Cooked black beans (1 can);
    - drained & rinsed
    1 c Unsalted tomato sauce -OR-
    1/4 c Unsalted tomato paste; plus:
    3/4 c Water
    1 tb Olive oil
    1/4 c Onion; chopped
    1 Celery rib; diced
    2 cl Garlic; up to 3 cl, minced
    2 tb Jalapeno pepper; minced
    1/2 Green bell pepper; diced
    1/2 Red bell pepper; diced
    1 ts Cumin powder
    2 ts Ground coriander
    1 ts Paprika
    1 ts Dried basil leaf
    1/2 ts Dried thyme leaf
    1/2 ts Dried marjoram leaf
    1/8 ts Chipotle or chile powder;
    - or to taste
    1 Bay leaf
    1 tb Light molasses
    1 tb Braggs Liquid Aminos or
    - soy sauce
    1/4 c Cilantro; chopped
    Black pepper;
    - fresh ground, to taste

    Stovetop:

    Soak the quinoa for 5 minutes. Rinse, then drain into a colander. If
    using canned beans, drain into a colander and rinse well. Peel &
    mince the garlic and jalapeno pepper. Dice the onion. Wash and trim
    the celery, slice lengthwise, then crosswise to dice. Seed and dice
    the red and green pepper. Heat the oil on medium-high in a Dutch oven
    or large sauce pan. Fry the garlic, jalapeno, onion, and celery until
    soft, about 5 minutes. Add the peppers and fry for 5 minutes. Add the
    spices and herbs, stir for 2 minutes. Add the beans, water or bean
    liquid, molasses, tomato sauce, and quinoa. Bring to boil, cover, and
    simmer 20 minutes or until quinoa is cooked. Stir in Braggs or soy
    sauce, and pepper. Adjust seasonings. Serve garnished with cilantro.
    Optionally add a dollop of dairy or non-dairy sour cream to each bowl.

    Crockpot:

    Black beans and white kidney (cannellini) beans contain the toxin
    phytohennagglutenin. Red kidney beans contain a much higher amount.
    You can get rid of the toxin, through long soaking (12 to 24 hours),
    with 2 or 3 changes of water, then boiling the beans (skimming the
    foam) for 10 to 15 minutes before adding to the crockpot. It's a good
    idea to preheat the crockpot on high before adding the beans.

    Saute jalapeno, garlic, celery, and peppers in oil for 5 minutes on
    med-high. Add spices and herbs, stir 2 minutes. Combine with water,
    tomato sauce, salt, quinoa, and beans in a 6 qt crockpot. Cover and
    cook on low for 5 to 6 hours. Add Braggs or soy sauce, molasses,
    pepper. Serve garnished with chopped clilantro and sour cream
    (optional).
