Looking for a spicy corn recipe with tomatoes & chili peppers?

Question

I have had it before, and I believe it is a middle eastern dish. It is fairly dry as well. Any idea? Thanks!

SPICY VEGETARIAN CHILI
Denise Anderson, Lexington, Ky.
"I created this chili when my husband and I were trying to eat less meat."
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, sliced into thin coins
1 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
2 each small zucchini and small yellow squash, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
2 cans (15 1/2 ounces each) dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (15 1/4 ounces) corn, with liquid
6 ounces tomato paste
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles, with liquid
6 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons sugar
1 to 2 teaspoons salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Sour cream (for garnish), optional
Grated Cheddar cheese (for garnish), optional

1. Place the oil in a large, heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and bell pepper and cook about 8 minutes. Add the zucchini and squash; continue to cook until all the vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes more.

2. Add remaining ingredients, except the garnishes; combine well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat; simmer gently for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Serve in bowls with a dollop of sour cream and grated Cheddar, if desired.

PICY TWO-BEAN VEGETARIAN CHILI
"This is a recipe I created on a snowy night when my family needed a little warming up," writes Rebecca Averill of Beverly, Massachusetts. "I combined the spices of India with the flavors of the Southwest, and added bulgur to give the chili a meaty texture. "
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded, chopped
3 large jalapeño chilies, seeded, minced (about 4 1/2 tablespoons)
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes with added puree
3 cups water
2 15-ounce cans black beans, rinsed, drained
2 15-ounce cans kidney beans, rinsed, drained
1/2 cup bulgur*
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
5 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots, red bell pepper, and jalapeños and sauté until onion and carrots are almost tender, about 8 minutes. Add tomatoes, 3 cups water, beans, bulgur, white wine vinegar, garlic, and spices. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook, uncovered, until bulgur is tender and mixture thickens, stirring often, about 20 minutes. Ladle chili into bowls and serve.
