Yield 8 servings

I serve this as a meatless main dish, but it also makes a nice side dish. It freezes and reheats well, so I’ll sometimes double the recipe. It has a colorful combination of carrots, corn, beans and tomatoes.

Ingredients

2 medium carrots, diced
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
2 cups frozen corn
1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
2 tablespoons picante sauce

Directions

In a large Dutch oven, saute the carrots, celery, onion, green pepper in oil for 5 minutes. Add the garlic. chili powder and cumin; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the remaining ingredients; bring to a boil.
Cover and bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until thickened and vegetables are tender.
