EASY BLACK BEAN CHILI



Easy Black Bean Chili image

We love chili for its rib-sticking deliciousness, and this meatless version is no exception. Just because it's made with beans, and no meat, doesn't mean it's not filling. Cumin, chili powder and chiles add heat, while fire-roasted tomatoes, black beans and sweet corn give it extra flavor.

BLACK BEAN CHILI WITH MUSHROOMS



Black Bean Chili With Mushrooms image

Mushrooms and black beans are the perfect pairing for a hearty weeknight chili with a kick of heat from a fresh jalapeño. Seared minced mushrooms add a depth of flavor that balances an easy homemade chili spice mix of mild chile, warm cinnamon and smoky chipotle. If you'd like, you can substitute 1 1/2 cups of the broth for 1 1/2 cups of Mexican lager.

Provided by Jocelyn Ramirez

Categories     dinner, weeknight, soups and stews, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound cremini or portobello mushrooms, or both, minced (see Tip)
1/3 cup neutral oil, such as grapeseed
Salt and black pepper
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
2 red bell peppers, finely chopped
1 jalapeño, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground mild chile, such as chile California
3/4 teaspoon chipotle powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon, preferably Ceylon
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 (14.5-ounce) cans diced tomatoes
2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
3 1/2 cups vegetable broth or water
1 tablespoon raw or turbinado sugar
1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms, torn into bite-size pieces (optional)
Sour cream (plant-based if you'd like) and torn cilantro leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Spread the minced mushrooms on a clean dish towel or paper towel and squeeze out excess liquid. Heat the oil in a medium pot over high. Add the mushrooms with a pinch each of salt and pepper and cook, stirring every minute or so, until the mushrooms sear to a darker color and any remaining water in the mushrooms has cooked off, about 5 minutes.
  • Lower the heat to medium and add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and browns slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the bell peppers, jalapeño and garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and beginning to brown. Add the chile powder, chipotle powder, cumin and cinnamon and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute, then add the tomato paste and mix.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low and add the canned diced tomato and its juices, beans, broth, sugar and porcini mushrooms, if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover with the lid ajar and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Divide among bowls and serve with sour cream and cilantro.

Tips:

  • Soaking the black beans overnight or for at least 4 hours will help to reduce the cooking time and make them more digestible.
  • If you don't have time to soak the beans, you can use canned black beans. Just be sure to rinse them well before using.
  • You can use any type of chili powder that you like, but a good quality chili powder will make a big difference in the flavor of the chili.
  • If you want a spicier chili, you can add more chili powder or a teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
  • If you want a thicker chili, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch or flour to the pot.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, diced avocado, or chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

Betsy's Black Bean Chili is a delicious and easy-to-make vegetarian chili that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The chili is packed with protein and fiber, and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. With its smoky, flavorful broth and tender black beans, this chili is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
