recipe: White Chili

I don't know why this is called white chili, I guess its because of the lack of meet in it, but, it is quite tasty, best enjoyed by yourself, if you know what I mean...

serves 4:
2 cans of kidney or canellini beans, 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 onions chopped, 2 small zuchinnis chopped, 1 fennel bulb chopped(I used leek instead cause I couldn't fine any...) 1 celery stick chopped, 1 red chili finely chopped, 4 cups water, 1 vegetable stock cube, 2 small carrots chopped, 1/2 cup chopped parsley, 1 tbsp dried thyme, 1 tbsp ground cumin, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp chili flakes,

1. Drain and rinse the beans.
2. In a deep sauce pan heat the oil and cook the onions for a couple of minutes or until soft;
3. Add carrots, celery, fennel, zuchinni. Cook stirring to coat for a couple of minutes. Add water and stock cube and bring to a boil.
4. Add chili, parsley, thyme, cumin, soy and chili flakes and simmer for about 25 minutes or until your vegetables are tender. 5. With a potato masher, mash about 1/5 of the mixture so you get a thicker sauce, season with salt and pepper and voilà.

Serve just like that or with some white rice or even some nice toasted sour dough with a bit of olive oil and crushed pepper.
