Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 white onion, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon sofrito
1 (20 ounce) package ground turkey
1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
1 cup water, plus more if desired
¾ (6 ounce) can tomato paste, divided
1 cup chopped cashews
2 teaspoons chili powder, or more to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan with a lid over medium-high heat. Saute onion in hot oil until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir garlic and sofrito into the onion; saute until the garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes more. Push the mixture to the side of the saucepan.
  • Break turkey into pieces and add to the saucepan in the space free of the onion mixture; cook, stirring frequently, until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir tomatoes, water, and about 3/4 of the tomato paste into the turkey mixture until even in color; add cashews, chili powder, cumin, and cocoa powder. Stir mixture to incorporate seasoning, place the lid on the saucepan, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer, stirring frequently and adding water to thin as desired, until the tomatoes are breaking down, about 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients beforehand: Chop, slice, and measure all your ingredients before starting to cook. This will make the cooking process much quicker and easier.
  • Use a large skillet or pot: Cashew chili tends to expand while cooking, so it's important to use a large skillet or pot to prevent overcrowding.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the beef, avoid overcrowding the pan. This will prevent the beef from cooking evenly and will result in tough, chewy meat.
  • Use a variety of beans: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of beans in your chili. This will add variety to the texture and flavor of the dish.
  • Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the chili, the better it will taste.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Cashew chili is delicious on its own, but it can also be served with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, avocado, cilantro, or shredded cheese.

Conclusion:

Cashew chili is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It can be made with a variety of ingredients, so you can customize it to your own taste. With its creamy texture, nutty flavor, and hearty vegetables, cashew chili is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
