Wheat berries Chili

This is not your meat and beans kind of chili, but when you taste it, it will make you come back for more!

I do have to say that we are meat eaters...but we just don't eat it as much as the majority of people.
This chili has no meat, which has been replaced with cooked wheat berries.
By wheat berries I mean either hard white wheat or hard red wheat (which has more of a "nutty" flavor)

The wheat berries have a "chewy" texture, which works well when replacing meat in recipes.
To find out more about the amazing nutrition of wheat berries and how to cook it, read my previous post.

So here is the recipe
I use

Ingredients

3T olive oil

1onion, chopped

1 bell pepper,chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tsp chili powder

1 1/2 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp dried oregano

2 15oz cans beans

2 14oz diced tomatoes, undrained

2 cups vegetable broth

2 cups Cooked Wheat Berries

Directions

Heat oil in a tall pot over medium-high heat. 

Add onion, bell pepper, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and cook, stirring occasionally until tender, about 5 minutes.

Add wheat berries and stir. 

Finally add beans, tomatoes, and broth.

Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 25 minutes.

Enjoy!

Wheat berries can be found at natural/health food stores, some regular grocery stores (look where the flour is) and online stores.

Stay Frugal,
