Meet the Cook: My entire family urged me to send in this recipe! I came up with it one day when I wasn't sure what to do with a can of black beans I had. I just threw a bunch of stuff together, and out came a new chili that's become our favorite. My husband always tells me that I'm the world's best cook. That's nice, since he's the best husband in the world! Our four children are ages 6, 4, 2 and 1. -Nanci Keatley, Salem, Oregon

Provided by Lulu Grimes

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1-2 tsp chipotle paste
400g black beans or kidney beans, drained
small bunch coriander , chopped
4 (or more) tortilla bowls (we used Old El Paso Stand 'n' Stuff)
1 avocado , sliced
1 lime , juiced
soured cream , to serve
grated cheddar , to serve
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion , finely chopped
1 garlic clove , crushed
½ celery stick, finely sliced
1 small carrot , finely chopped
500g beef mince , 10% fat
3 tbsp tomato & vegetable purée
200ml passata
50ml milk

Steps:

  • Heat half of the oil in a pan, add the onion and fry until it starts to soften, then add the garlic, celery and carrot and cook until soft. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a separate frying pan and fry the mince in batches, scooping each batch out with a slotted spoon and leave any excess oil behind.
  • Add the mince to the veg, then stir in the tomato purée and cook for 1 min. Stir in the passata and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook over a very low heat for 1½-2 hrs, then add the milk and cook for 30 mins. If you're making the base ahead of time, you can leave it to cool at this stage then freeze for up to a month. (Defrost fully before using in the next step.)
  • Put the mince base in a pan and add 1 tsp chipotle paste, bring to a simmer and taste it - add the other tsp if you need to. Stir in the black beans and cook for 5 mins, then stir in the coriander.
  • Warm the tortilla bowls in a low oven. Serve the bowls filled with chilli and add the avocado, a squeeze of lime, soured cream and cheese.

SLOW COOKER SPICY BLACK BEAN AND SWEET POTATO CHILI



Slow Cooker Spicy Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chili image

This nourishing, smoky vegan chili is perfect for cold weeknights. Mix everything in the slow cooker before the chaos of the day begins, then just toss in some frozen corn a few minutes before you're ready to eat. As with any chili, toppings go far. Feel free to throw on what you have and what sounds good, like tortilla chips, cilantro or vegan cheese. The recipe calls for either coconut oil or vegetable oil. If you'd like a mild coconut flavor - which plays well with the orange juice in the chili - choose unrefined or virgin coconut oil. For a neutral flavor, choose refined coconut oil or any vegetable oil. Use one chipotle chile for a very mild chili, and four if you like yours very spicy.

SMOKED SAUSAGE CHILI

Most chili recipes contain the usual meats such as ground beef, chicken or venison. I decided to try and create a new recipe for chili by using smoked sausage. If I do say so myself, ;) it turned out pretty good. This serves two very hungry people. If you like, top each serving with shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Submitted to "ZAAR" on December 27th, 2007.

  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the chili. Some good options include onions, peppers, celery, and carrots.
  • Season the chili well: Chili is a dish that can handle a lot of seasoning. Be generous with the chili powder, cumin, and paprika.
  • Let the chili simmer: The longer the chili simmers, the more flavorful it will be. Aim for at least 30 minutes, but you can simmer it for up to 2 hours.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for chili include cheese, sour cream, avocado, and cilantro.
