I use whatever beans I have to hand for this recipe. Cooking time does not include soaking. If you have a pressure cooker it is a lot faster to cook the beans using this though.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1/2 cup black-eyed peas
1/2 cup mung beans
1/2 cup lentils
2 plum tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato puree
1 vegetarian beef stock cube
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon cumin coriander powder
1/2-1 teaspoon chili powder
salt
water

Steps:

Soak the beans overnight.
Boil the beans in enough water, stock cube, diced tomatoes, puree and spices together for around 1 hour on medium heat until cooked. Towards the end the sauce will thicken up, make sure it doesn't dry up though by adding some water. Add enough water to produce a thick sauce to your own preference.
Taste before adding more salt or chili.

Tips:

Use a variety of beans for a more complex flavor and texture.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and seasonings. For example, you could add a teaspoon of cumin or chili powder for a smoky flavor.
If you like your chili thick, mash some of the beans before adding them to the pot.
Serve the chili with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, cheese, and avocado.
Leftover chili can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

This spicy mixed bean chili is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover beans. With its combination of beans, vegetables, and spices, this chili is a hearty and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
