VEGETARIAN SKILLET CHILI



Vegetarian Skillet Chili image

If you keep canned beans, tomatoes, onion and garlic in your pantry, you can make this dish on any weeknight without having to shop. The pickled onions aren't strictly necessary, but they are simple to make and add a welcome tangy contrast to the beans. Pickled peppers are a fine substitute. If you have a bell pepper or jalapeño or two, chop them up and sauté them with the onions. And if you want to be fancy, grate the zest off the lime before juicing for the pickles, and stir it into the sour cream.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lime
1 red onion or shallot, thinly sliced
Large pinch of kosher salt
Small pinch of granulated sugar
Olive or grapeseed oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, or to taste, minced
1 teaspoon chile powder, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon dried oregano, plus more to taste
2 (15-ounce) cans beans, drained
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes with their juices

Steps:

  • Make the pickled onions: Squeeze lime juice into a bowl, and add onion, salt and sugar. Let rest while you make the chili.
  • Prepare the chili: Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add the oil. When hot, add onion and sauté until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic, chile powder and oregano and sauté until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Add beans and tomatoes and a few large pinches of salt and let simmer until the tomatoes break down, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans. This will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, and Great Northern beans.
  • Don't be afraid to add some heat. Chili is a great dish to experiment with different levels of spiciness. If you like it mild, add a teaspoon or two of chili powder. If you like it hot, add a tablespoon or more. You can also add some chopped jalapeños or cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
  • Make it a hearty meal. Chili is a great way to warm up on a cold day. Serve it with some cornbread, crackers, or rice. You can also add some shredded cheese, sour cream, or guacamole.
  • Let it simmer. The longer you simmer your chili, the better the flavors will meld together. Aim for at least 30 minutes, but you can simmer it for up to 2 hours.
  • Freeze it for later. Chili is a great meal to make ahead of time. It freezes well, so you can always have some on hand for a quick and easy meal.

Pub-style vegetarian chili is a hearty, flavorful, and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a casual get-together or a weeknight meal. With its combination of beans, vegetables, and spices, this chili is sure to please everyone at the table.
