BLACK BEAN CHILI CON CARNE



Black Bean Chili Con Carne image

A flavorful chili from South American Food and Cooking. Prep time does not include soaking beans. Instructions from the original recipe are for cooking in the oven, but I find cooking it in a pot on the stovetop gives you a better idea of when the beans are cooked, as well as how thick or watery the stew is. This is really nice served with Recipe #235092.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 lb dried black beans (2/3 cup), picked over and rinsed
1 small onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
2 fresh cilantro sprigs
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
6 cups cold water
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring beans, onion, cilantro sprigs, oil, and water to a boil in a 2-quart heavy pot. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until beans are just tender, about 1 1/4 hours. Add salt and simmer, uncovered, until liquid is evaporated to just below level of beans. Season with salt and discard cilantro sprigs.

Tips:

  • To make the chili even more flavorful, use a variety of beans, such as black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans.
  • If you like your chili spicy, add a diced jalapeño or serrano pepper. For a milder chili, omit the peppers or use a milder variety, such as a poblano pepper.
  • If you don't have any vegetable broth on hand, you can use water instead. However, vegetable broth will add more flavor to the chili.
  • If you're short on time, you can use canned black beans instead of dried beans. Just be sure to rinse them well before adding them to the chili.
  • Garnish the chili with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, or chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

Black bean chili is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover black beans. This recipe is vegetarian, but you can easily add meat to it if you desire. Just brown some ground beef or turkey before adding it to the chili. Black bean chili is a hearty and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
