Directions
First measure out the seasonings and spices. Measure the rice and faro. Dice the onion, cut the carrots, and deseed and mince the pepper. (To half moon the carrots: cut them once lengthwise, then chop and instead of rounds you will have half moons.)
2) Get out your slow cooker and turnd it to high. Add the oil, and saute the onion, carrots, and pepper. Once soft, add the garlic and continue to saute for a few minutes more. (Or, since that can take a long time, do this in a skillet and then scrape into the slow cooker once done.)
3) Open the cans of beans, and rinse them in the sink using a collander. Add the beans, liquids (tomatoes and chili sauce), and spices to the slow cooker and mix well. Cook for ~ 2 hours.
4) Finally, add the faro and rice to the mixture, stir. Check occasionally during the last couple of hours as the liquid will disappear (absorbed by the grains) and it will be a very thick chili towards the end (the kind your spoon can stand up in). Cook for ~4 hours total.
5) If you prefer a more liquid dinner, save some tomato or chili sauce or even water, just heat it up and add liquid before serving. (I like the thicker dish.)

Comments
One variation is to use tomato sauce instead of Las Palmas Red Chile Sauce.
Other veggies to add to the dish include: corn, zucchini, bell peppers, and so on. You can even add real or faux meat.
You can add all sorts of toppings: slice avocados, celery leaves, cilantro, shredded cheese, or sour cream.
I used this as a chili dish, and have added it in burritos (very yummy). This dish freezes well and reheats in the microwave.
