Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 poblano peppers, seeded and diced
2 medium onions, diced
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 pounds lean ground bison
6 tablespoons Mexican chili powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
One 14.5-ounce can whole fire-roasted tomatoes, crushed by hand
One 15.5-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
One 15.5-ounce can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
One 15.5-ounce can white hominy, drained and rinsed
One 8-ounce container low-fat sour cream, optional
1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheese, optional
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, optional
1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped, optional
Lime wedges, for serving, optional
Avocado, diced, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the bison and cook until browned, taking care not to break the meat into very small pieces, about 10 minutes. Transfer the bison to a plate using a slotted spoon and set aside. Drain the liquid in the bottom of the pot and discard. Keep the pot over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil, the poblano peppers and onions. Cook until softened and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, coriander, cumin, salt, cayenne pepper and garlic. Cook and stir until the spices are fragrant and toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes with the juices, and bring to a simmer while scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pan, about 2 minutes. Return the bison to the pot and add the black beans, kidney beans, hominy and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat, cover and simmer until thickened, about 45 minutes. Season with salt. Serve with the sour cream, cheese, cilantro, onions, lime and avocados, if desired.

Canned white or yellow hominy adds wonderful corn flavor and color. This is even better is it's allowed to sit for a day and get rewarmed. *Serve this chili as "Chili Burritos" by wrapping in tortillas with green onions, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, cilantro, sour cream and salsa for a great 2nd meal!

VEGETARIAN HOMINY CHILI WITH BEANS



Vegetarian Hominy Chili With Beans image

Adapted from a Cooking Light recipe I found years ago. This is QUICK, HEARTY and DELICIOUS, which is great considering it can be made in less than 30 minutes, simmer time included. Pretty much Involves peeling some garlic and opening cans, but of course, you can use fresh tomatoes and pre-soaked beans if you want. The hominy adds a great texture, as does the TVP if you choose to include it. Like most chili it tastes even better the next day and freezes well. Serve with sour cream and sprinkle with a good sharp shredded cheddar.

Categories     Black Beans

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons canola oil
3 -4 fresh garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (15 ounce) can hominy
1 cup kidney bean, rinsed
1 cup black beans, rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (15 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, undrained and chopped a bit
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces textured vegetable protein (I use TVP that comes in larger chunks as it has a chewier texture, but you can use any kind.)
1/2-1 cup water or 1/2-1 cup vegetable broth, as needed

Steps:

  • Saute garlic in the canola oil in a large sauce pan or small pot.
  • Stir in the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
  • If using TVP, add water if chili gets too thick as TVP will absorb liquid pretty quickly.
  • Garnish with cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream.

Tips:

Use a variety of beans and hominy: Using different types of beans, such as black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans, adds depth of flavor and texture to your chili. Hominy, made from dried corn kernels, adds a slightly sweet and nutty flavor. Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the beans, hominy, and vegetables to the pot, make sure you don't overcrowd it. The ingredients need room to cook evenly and develop their flavors. Simmer for a long time: The longer you simmer the chili, the more time the flavors have to develop. Aim for at least 30 minutes, but you can simmer it for up to 2 hours if you have the time. Add spices and seasonings to taste: The amount of spices and seasonings you add to your chili is up to you. Start with a moderate amount and then adjust to taste. Common seasonings include chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic. Serve with your favorite toppings: Once your chili is cooked, serve it with your favorite toppings. Common toppings include shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

This hearty and flavorful black bean and hominy chili is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. By following these tips, you can make a delicious pot of chili that everyone will enjoy!
