Ingredients:





     6    To 12 chilies


     3 c  Cold water


     1 pk Soy or textured vegetable


          -protein (12oz)


     2 tb Oil


     1 md Onion; chopped


     1 cl Garlic; minced


     1 tb Cumin


   1/2 ts Red pepper


     1 tb Paprika


    12 c  Water






 Wash, stem and remoeve seeds from the chilies.  Put chiliesin 3 cups cold


 water and bring to a boil. After about 45 minutes to an hour the skins


 should slip off easily. Mash the pulp into a paste. If this seems too


 difficult, you can substitute chili powder at the ratio of 1 tablespoon


 chili powder to a pod of chili. Read the instructions on the soy or TVP


 package to see if the product was soaked beforehand. If not, use some of


 the water to prepare this ingredient. Saute the onions in the olive oil


 until translucent. Add the garlic and spices , then the 12 cups of water.


 Bring to a boil, then add the nuggets.  Reduce to a simmer, cook for 30


 minutes to an hour.  If this seems too runny, you can thicken with masa,


 the cornmeal flour used in tortillas. When made in bulk, this chili can


 readily be frozen.
