NUTRITION TIPS:  Notice the excess amount of iron in this recipe. There is 40% absorption of iron from vegetarian sources, so 4.5 grams is likely absorbed. In for energy, mix tempeh with beans and do not mix beans with meat. Break the tradition of adding beans to meat dishes. Beans digest faster than meat and compete for the protein receptors and win, leaving meat to ferment longer in the stomach and intestines, creating fatigue and gas - a sign of malabsorption.  Tempeh looks like hamburger meat, but offers more calcium and genistein, which may help to block cancerous tumors. Use it once a week.

1 pkg. (300 ml)              tempeh

2 cups (500 ml)             onions, diced

2 cups (500 ml)             zucchini, coarsely chopped

3                                  large stalks celery, sliced in crescents

4                                  cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp. (30ml) each        chili powder and dulse leaves, dried and crumbled

3 cups (750 ml)             fresh cranberries, pureed (best for all blood types)

1 cup (250 ml)               pre-cooked pinto beans (Medicinal for O’s and A’s.) B’s use red Kidney beans

1 cup (250 ml)               Northern beans, sprouted – good for all blood types.

1 cup (250 ml)               pre-cooked black beans (AB’s use adzuki beans instead)

2 tsp. (10 ml)                 salt with trace minerals - or 4 tsp. kelp salt

1 tbsp. (15 ml)               cumin powder

1/8 tsp. (0.65 ml)           cayenne powder

2 tsp. (10 ml)                 each dried oregano and basil

5 tbsp. (75 ml)               extra virgin olive oil

For blood type O, or those who relish football and vigorous sports please separate meat from beans:

* 2 lb. (908 g.)               ground lean beef, aged 21-28 days

* 28 oz. can (794 g.)      cubed tomatoes, undrained

1.  Prepare vegetables and puree cranberries. Poach onions, cubed squash, celery, zucchini, garlic, and chili powder in enough purified water to cover bottom of a big enamel pot, on medium heat for six minutes.

2a.   Blood type A, B, AB, add mashed cranberries, drained black beans, other beans, tempeh, oil, herbs, and water or tomato sauce to make a smooth moist pot of chili.

2b.   Blood type O, omit beans, add tomatoes, and lean organic ground beef. Add veggies, oil, and herbs.

3.  Cook it up. In an uncovered pot, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low heat. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes until zucchini is tender. Stir occasionally, so that bottom ingredients do not scorch. Remove from heat. Taste to see if it’s salty enough for you, and adjust. Scoop into bowls, and top with sour cream.
