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:

  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them soak for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of beans: This recipe calls for white beans, but you can also use other types of beans, such as black beans, kidney beans, or pinto beans. Using a variety of beans will add different flavors and textures to the chili.
  • Don't overcook the beans: The beans should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. Overcooked beans will make the chili too thick and pasty.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for onions, celery, and carrots, but you can also add other vegetables, such as bell peppers, corn, or zucchini. Using a variety of vegetables will add different flavors and nutrients to the chili.
  • Use a good quality chili powder: The chili powder is one of the most important ingredients in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for a chili powder that is made with a variety of different chilies and has a deep, rich flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is just a starting point. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to create a chili that you love. For example, you could add different spices, such as cumin or oregano, or you could add different types of meat, such as ground beef or chicken.

Conclusion:

This 30-minute white bean chili is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. It's also a healthy and affordable meal that is packed with protein and fiber. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this white bean chili a try. You won't be disappointed!
