This is a tasty dish! I always recommend www.vegweb.com for recipes and inspiration. A view of vegweb today inspired me to create this recipe.

2 celery stalks sliced (about 1/2 cm slices)
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup frozen corn
olive oil
10 button mushrooms, halved
1 small zucchini, chopped
796 ml can diced tomatoes
549 ml / 19 fl oz can 6 bean medley, drained & rinsed

1 tbsp vegan worcestershire sauce
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dried cilantro
1 tsp cumin

method

If desired, cook rice according to package directions.

Heat some olive oil in a large pot, add onions, celery and green pepper. Saute 'til onion translucent.

Mix in garlic.  Saute a few minutes.

Add zucchini and mushrooms. Saute 'til zucchini starts to get soft.

Add tomatoes, beans, corn, chili powder, worcestershire sauce, salt, cilantro, cumin and black pepper.  Mix well.

Serve on a bed of rice, topped with Daiya Cheddar Style Shreds, Toffutti Sour Supreme and red pepper flakes.
