VEGETARIAN WHITE CHILI

A Parmesan rind is the secret ingredient in this hearty white-bean chili-it adds tremendous richness and depth of flavor. If you don't have one, substitute the water in the recipe for homemade or store-bought low-sodium vegetable broth.

Time 1h5m

Yield Makes 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 poblano chiles (12 ounces)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 white onion, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic (2 to 3 cloves)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 Parmesan rind
1 can (4 ounces) diced green chiles
1/4 cup fine cornmeal
2 cans (each 15 ounces) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
3 cups chopped spinach (4 ounces)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup sour cream
Thinly sliced radishes and jalapenos, diced avocado, and lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Place poblanos directly over a gas flame, and cook, turning with tongs occasionally, until charred all over, about 8 minutes. (Or char under a broiler on a rimmed baking sheet.) Transfer to a bowl; cover with plastic wrap until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Using your hands, rub off charred skin, rinsing your hands frequently under cold running water. Pat poblanos dry. Slice poblanos in half, remove seeds and stems, and cut flesh into 1-inch pieces.
  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high. Add onion and a pinch of salt; cook until translucent and browned around edges, about 7 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, chili powder, and coriander; cook until fragrant, 1 minute more.
  • Add Parmesan rind, green chiles, poblanos, and 4 cups water. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until flavors meld, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together cornmeal and 1 cup hot cooking liquid. Return to saucepan and stir to combine. Simmer until liquid thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together cilantro and sour cream. Set aside.
  • Add beans and greens to saucepan; simmer until beans are heated through and greens are wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, with herbed sour cream, radishes, jalapenos, avocado, and a squeeze of lime.

HARISSA AND WHITE BEAN CHILI



Harissa and White Bean Chili image

The key to achieving depth of flavor in this fresh, nontraditional, 30-minute chili recipe is layering ingredients with bold condiments that do most of the work for you. Here, soy sauce and harissa are used to provide umami, spice and heat. Finish the chili as you'd like, topping it with all of the suggestions below, or skipping the yogurt and feta to keep it vegan. The chili will thicken as it sits, so add a little water when reheating. If you don't like tomato skins or don't want to buy fresh tomatoes, substitute 2 tablespoons of tomato paste for the tomatoes, adding it with the harissa. For a more substantial meal, serve with rice or bread, or double the recipe for leftovers.

Time 30m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small red onion, diced
2 red or orange bell peppers, seeded and diced
2 jalapeños (1 seeded and diced, 1 sliced into thin rounds for garnish)
Kosher salt
1 (10-ounce) container cherry or grape tomatoes (1 pint)
1 to 2 tablespoons harissa, depending on heat preference
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 garlic cloves, grated or minced
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 (15-ounce) cans white beans, such as cannellini or great Northern, drained and rinsed
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
Black pepper
3 packed cups baby spinach
2 limes, 1 halved, 1 cut into wedges for serving
Full-fat yogurt or sour cream, for serving
1 avocado, sliced or cubed, for serving
1/4 cup packed cilantro or parsley leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped or torn, for serving
1/2 cup crumbled feta or grated Parmesan or mozzarella, for serving

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat the oil over medium-high until shimmering. Add the onion, bell pepper and diced jalapeño, and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions just start to soften in color and texture, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, season lightly with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the tomatoes have burst, 6 to 7 minutes, lowering the heat if the onions threaten to burn. Stir in the harissa, cumin, oregano and garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the soy sauce, scraping up anything on the bottom of the pot, until combined, about 1 minute.
  • Add the white beans and broth, season with salt, and raise the heat to bring it to a gentle boil. Adjust the heat to maintain a simmer, then cook until the broth thickens and the beans become soft and creamy, stirring occasionally to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom, about 12 to 15 minutes. Smash any remaining whole tomatoes against the side of the pot. Stir in the spinach in batches until wilted. Squeeze in the lime halves, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Divide among bowls and top each with a spoonful of yogurt, followed by the avocado, cilantro, feta and jalapeño rounds. Serve with the lime wedges.

Tips:

  • For a smoky flavor: Roast the poblano pepper over an open flame or under a broiler until charred. Then, place it in a paper bag and let it steam for 10 minutes. This will help to remove the skin easily.
  • If you don't have a blender: You can mash the beans with a potato masher or fork.
  • To make the chili ahead of time: Prepare the chili according to the recipe and let it cool completely. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the chili over medium heat until warmed through.
  • To freeze the chili: Prepare the chili according to the recipe and let it cool completely. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, thaw the chili in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for several hours. Then, reheat the chili over medium heat until warmed through.

Conclusion:

This 20-minute vegetarian white bean chili is a quick and easy way to get a healthy and delicious meal on the table. It's also a great way to use up leftover beans and vegetables.
