Vegetarian Hominy Chili With Beans

• 2 teaspoons canola oil
• 3 -4 fresh garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 (15 ounce) can hominy
• 1 cup kidney bean, rinsed
• 1 cup black beans, rinsed
• 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 (15 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, undrained and chopped a bit
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• OPTIONAL
• 8 ounces textured vegetable protein (I use TVP that comes in larger chunks as it has a chewier texture, but you can use any kind.)
• 1/2 - 1 cup water or 1/2-1 cup vegetable broth, as needed

1. Saute garlic in the canola oil in a large sauce pan or small pot.
2. Stir in the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
3. If using TVP, add water if chili gets too thick as TVP will absorb liquid pretty quickly.
4. Garnish with cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream.
