1/4 teaspoon ground basil
1 tablespoon chili powder
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
tomato, several depending on size, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans

Saute onions, green pepper and garlic in olive oil until soft.

I really enjoyed this very meaty chili. It isn't spicy, but has plenty of flavor from the herbs & spices that are added. Salt & Pepper isn't mentioned, I added both to taste. For the tomatoes, I just added a handful of cherry tomatoes and about 4-5 small vine tomatoes I had in the house, crushed. I liked that this wasn't too tomato-ey.

I would have preferred a good chili from Arizona, lol.. ((updated 6/10/2009 to remove stars, so as not to skew rating))

Wow! What a great bowl of spicy and innovative chili! This is JUST the CHANGE our family needed to wake us up and excite our palates. After years of the same tired old chili, we were looking for something new and this was fit the bill perfectly. Thanks SO much for posting!

I skipped the green pepper and used stewed tomatoes instead of fresh. So, I simmered the thing for ~40 minutes or so. It was awesome!
