Sounds really good. I make my own polenta and add roasted red peppers. I also cook my own beans.I don't have hot chili oil, so would add spices of choice to the beans and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. You could add some cooked vegetables, and some browned tofu to give it more color - 5/7/08
