3 BELL PEPPER CHILI



3 Bell Pepper Chili image

This chili is delicious, low fat, quick, healthy, and doesn't require any weird health food store ingredients. I made this one day while feeling under the weather and have been making it ever since. This recipe is not very spicy, so feel free to add more heat if you so desire. This is my favorite chili recipe. It tastes great, hot or cold.

DOUBLE BEAN & ROASTED PEPPER CHILLI



Double bean & roasted pepper chilli image

This warming vegetarian chilli is a low-fat, healthy option that packs in the veggies and flavour. Serve with Tabasco sauce, soured cream or yogurt

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 onions, chopped
2 celery sticks, finely chopped
2 yellow or orange peppers, finely chopped
2 tbsp sunflower oil or rapeseed oil
2 x 460g jars roasted red peppers
2 tsp chipotle paste
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp sweet smoked paprika
2 tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
400g can refried beans
3 x 400g cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed
2 x 400g cans black beans, drained and rinsed

Steps:

  • Put the onions, celery and chopped peppers with the oil in your largest flameproof casserole dish or heavy-based saucepan, and fry gently over a low heat until soft but not coloured.
  • Drain both jars of peppers over a bowl to catch the juices. Put a quarter of the peppers into a food processor with the chipotle paste, vinegar, cocoa, dried spices and herbs. Whizz to a purée, then stir into the softened veg and cook for a few mins.
  • Add the tomatoes and refried beans with 1 can water and the reserved pepper juice. Simmer for 1 hr until thickened, smoky and the tomato chunks have broken down to a smoother sauce.
  • At this stage you can cool and chill the sauce if making ahead. Otherwise add the kidney and black beans, and the remaining roasted peppers, cut into bite-sized pieces, then reheat. (This makes a large batch, so once the sauce is ready it might be easier to split it between two pans when you add the beans and peppers.) Once bubbling and the beans are hot, season to taste and serve.

THREE BEAN SLOW BURN CHILI



Three Bean Slow Burn Chili image

I threw this together on a cold day when I was itching for some chili. The spice measurements are approximate. I start out with 1/8 cup and go from there. It cooks up fast and gets better when stored in the fridge and reheated. Top with shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream, if desired. Enjoy!

THREE-MEAT CHILI



Three-Meat Chili image

A combination of pork tenderloin, ground turkey and ground beef make this chili unique. Instead of pinto beans, you can use kidney beans, white beans or black beans; I use whatever is in my pantry and never seem to use the same kind twice in a row. It makes a big batch, but don't worry if you have leftovers-the chili is even better the next day.

Tips for a Perfect Three-Pepper Chili:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful peppers. The quality of your peppers will greatly impact the flavor of your chili. Look for peppers that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Roast the peppers before adding them to the chili. Roasting the peppers will enhance their flavor and give them a slightly smoky taste. You can roast the peppers in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a variety of beans. Using a variety of beans will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you overcrowd the pot, the chili will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough room for the ingredients to move around freely.
  • Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes. Simmering the chili will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the chili, the better it will taste.
  • Add toppings of your choice. Once the chili is cooked, you can add toppings of your choice. Some popular toppings include cheese, sour cream, onions, and cilantro.

Conclusion:

Three-pepper chili is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover vegetables and meat, and it can be easily tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your chili mild or spicy, vegetarian or meaty, there is a three-pepper chili recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give three-pepper chili a try. You won't be disappointed!
