Greek Chili

"I'm really not sure where I got this recipe--from some "bean" website, I think. It's really very tasty. I don't use the olives, but the feta cheese is a must."

  1. I love a good chili, and this one's a real keeper. The honey, cocoa and oregano in the sauce makes it taste completely unique- I love it. I also added two chopped serrano peppers because I just can't make a chili without it being devilishly hot. The feta and olives were also the perfect finish. I actually left out the noodles completely though, and just served the chili with pita chips like one would serve a traditional chili with crackers.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a psychotherapist who decided to start cooking creatively after years of resistance. I cook primarily vegetarian but cook with other ingredients when my family complains too much. I'm the mother of 3 sons, two of whom are grown, and I've been married since 1978. I cringe when I think back on the cooking my poor husband valliantly endured when we were first married. I collect cookbooks and frequent the thrift shops in my area for unusual finds. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
