Soak beans in cold water to cover 8 hours or overnight. Drain.

Combine crumbled tempeh, wine, soy, cumin, basil, chili; let marinate for 2 hours at least.

Meanwhile, in a 6 qt. Pan over medium high heat, saute onions in sherry and oil 10 minutes, stirring. Add mushroom and cook 10 more minutes.

Add tomatoes, green pepper, carrot, celery, chili, jalapenos, garlic. Saute stirring 5 minutes.

Add beans, stock, tomato paste. Bring to boil, cover, lower heat, simmer 2 to 3 hours till beans are tender.

Add tempeh and marinade. Cook 10 minutes. Serve garnished with chips.

leftover crushed tomatoes, and we garnished it with non-fat sour cream and chopped cilantro (better for you than corn chips). A more traditional chili style would be to relplace all tomatos with a red chili sauce: split and de-seed dry red anchos, anahiems, and/or gujanailos (sp?) and sear on a hot cast iron skillet. Put in a bowl and cover by boiling water. Let soak 20 min, then puree, maybe with a little garlic (and usually salt, but not for this recipe!). Use that instead of tomato paste and crushed tomato.

Enjoy, Keith
