1/3 c  Oil
3 md Onions, chopped
2    Stalks celery, chopped
4    Cloves garlic, minced
1    Bell pepper, chopped
1    Jalapeno pepper, minced
2 lb Tofu chunks
2 tb Each ground red chilis,
-cumin, oregano
1    Bay leaf
2 c  Water
2    28 oz. cans tomatos
6 oz Can tomato paste
2 cn Kidney beans
-salt to taste

Saute first five ingredients in oil until limp. Add tofu and saute until
browned. Mix the spices together in a bowl and sprinkle into the pot. Mix
thoroughly. Add water, tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. If desired, at
this point, add the kidney beans. Taste and correct seasoning. The addition
of 1 tsp to 1 tblsp of cayenne pepper can make this gradually more spicy.
As the recipe reads, itUs fairly tame. NOTE: The ground chilis are NOT
chili powder. Most chili powder is made up of a combination of chilis,
oregano, cumin, salt and garlic. If chili powder is all you can find, then
you will have to readjust the cumin and oregano amounts.
