Four Bean Chili

This post is also available in / Esta entrada también está disponible en ESPAÑOL (SPANISH)

My bulk Tuesdays are getting old. We’re kind of tired of lentils, red bean chili or chickpeas, so I needed (and still need) to find some new twists for my leguminous Tuesday lunches. I was happy to find this Four Bean Chili recipe, even though we’re still talking about beans… and chili… again, I find that mixing four different types of beans in an all-vegetarian meal would certainly bring a different twist.

I didn’t use any canned ingredients simply because I prefer to use fresh cooked beans.  You can certainly use cans to make this an even easier meal. I also incorporated zucchini to the mix, you can add any variety you like.
