Black Turtle Bean Chili

I was inspired by the big baskets of tomatoes at the farmer's market. The zukes, onions and garlic are all market fare as well. Crockpot did all the work.

2 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp finely chopped garlic
2 large onions, finely chopped
2 cups dry black turtle beans -- soaked and rinsed

1/2 cup dried mushrooms, finely crumbled

1 tbsp raw cacao
1/2 cup almond butter

3 L of tomatoes, finely chopped

2 cups carrots, finely chopped

1 tbsp each marjoram, oregano 

2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp cumin

1/8 tsp chipotle

black pepper

6 small zucchinis, quartered and sliced -- add 1 hour before end of cooking

directions:

1. layer ingredients in order listed -- reserve zucchini

2. cook until done

3. add the zucchini and stir thoroughly

4. cook until zucchini is soft and juicy

5. serve with garlic toast
