Before you start

A slow cooker is needed to make this recipe.

Method

  1. Prepare the vegetables. Chop the onions, mince the garlic and finely dice the bell peppers and sweet potatoes.
  2. Heat half the oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic about 3 min until the onion is soft and translucent, with occasional stirring, paying attention not to let them burn. Remove from pan and transfer to the slow cooker.
  3. Place the tofu, remaining oil and remaining ingredients, except the rice and beans, into the slow cooker. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on 'low' for 4 h.
  4. A few minutes before the end of cooking, start to cook the rice.
  5. Drain the beans, rinse them and drain again. Add them to the slow cooker, mix well, and cook an additional 8-10 min. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve the chili over the steamed rice.
