Vegan Sausage Chili with Apple and Black Beans
makes 2 hearty servings
Recipe from Lauren Ulm
I made this in 20 minutes, and that included time to straighten up a bit. My lunches can get a bit weird sometimes, as I tend to rummage around and try to make something that uses up the food we have.

instructions
1. Heat 1 scant cup of water to boiling and mix it with 1 cup dried TSP (or follow package directions). While that is soaking, heat a large skillet with some vegetable oil. Add carrot and stir every once in a while to soften. Meanwhile, dice apples, tomatoes, and sausage. Add these plus the beans and cumin to pan. Stir and cover.
2. Check on your TSP. Dump out excess water as soon as it is fairly soft and add to the skillet. Add tamari and Worcestershire sauce, stir well, and cover. Let simmer on medium heat for 5 minutes. Serve with fresh cilantro or parsley.
