Veggie Chili

This veggie chili is great for Vegans.

olive oil
1-2 large yellow onions, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red pepper, diced fairly large
1 green pepper, diced fairly large
1 28-oz. can crushed tomatoes
1 T. cumin
1 tsp cayenne (or to your taste)
1/2 pkg frozen corn
2 cans black beans
1-1/2 cups picante sauce
salt to taste
grated cheddar, if desired
cashew nuts, if desired

Saute onions in the olive oil. (I used cooking wine instead to cut out the fat). Add garlic a bit later. After onion and garlic are have turned golden brown, add cumin, cayenne, and whatever other spices you might like. Fry for a couple of minutes.

Next, add the peppers, saute them for a few minutes. Put the crushed tomatoes, corn, beans and picante sauce into the crock pot, and add the onion mixture. Cook on low about 10 hours. Serve with grated cheddar and cashew nuts, if desired.
