LAFD ENGINE CO. NO. 28'S VEGETARIAN BLACK BEAN CHILI



Lafd Engine Co. No. 28's Vegetarian Black Bean Chili image

Engine Co. No. 28, is a popular L.A. restaurant located in an historic building, which was constructed in 1912 as a Los Angeles Fire Department firehouse, which housed 2 engine companies. In 1912 LA's population was 400,000; and New Mexico and Arizona were being admitted into the Union. A trip to the restaurant, established in the 1980's has been called a "a big hug from America"; it serves American favorites and some history. Some cooking notes: although you can use canned beans equalling 4 cups, the restaurant uses dried beans starting with a one pound package which will yield about 4 cups of cooked beans. This chili is best when made one day in advance. The flavors develop better. When reheating, add water if necessary and heat slowly to avoid scorching. The recipe had been published in the Los Angeles Times, reader request column.

  • Roast your own spices. Toasting spices before adding them to the chili will enhance their flavor. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, or until they become fragrant.
  • Don't be afraid to add some heat. If you like your chili spicy, add a few chopped jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper. You can also add some smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
  • Let the chili simmer for a long time. The longer you simmer the chili, the better the flavors will develop. Simmer it for at least 1 hour, or even longer if you have time.
