The ingredients for Tofu Cincinatti Chili are:

6 packages extra firm tofu, drained and crumbled
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 8-ounce cans of unseasoned tomato sauce
minced garlic to taste (4 cloves or more)
6-7 cups water
4 Tbsp chili powder
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp allspice
1 Tbsp ground cumin
2 tsp salt
4 whole bay leaves
1 Tbsp oregano
0.5 tsp red pepper flakes

Here is how you make Tofu Cincinatti Chili:

Prep the onion and tofu first.Heat up olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed stock pot. Sautee the onion in the oil until translucent. Add tofu, water, and spices. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until most of the water is evaporated and the tofu is heartily seasoned. This can take upwards of 3 hours. Keep an eye on it, though, since the tofu is more prone to scorching than ground meat is. If it begins to scorch, tone down the temperature. If it loses its simmer, it will take longer. This is best made a day ahead so that the flavors will meld.I serve this over 2 ounces of whole wheat pasta and top it with 0.25 cups of kidney beans, 0.13 cups of shredded cheese and 2 tsp of parmesan cheese.This makes 10 hearty servings. If you make a half batch, keep the amount of water and the cooking time the same but halve all the other ingredients.Number of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user HERONSINGER.
