VEGETARIAN CHILI WITH CORN BREAD TOPPING



Vegetarian Chili With Corn Bread Topping image

The idea behind this spicy, all-vegetable chili is ease: It's easily made on a weekend, a meditative wintry afternoon in the kitchen, chopping and stirring. Then, on a weeknight made even shorter by commuting and homework, concoct an easy corn bread topping, spread it on the chili and bake it for a while. It's healthy, filling food.

Time 1h35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups red bell peppers (about 2 large peppers), finely diced
2 teaspoons hot red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 cardamom pods, lightly crushed
1 1/2 cups red lentils
3 cups canned chopped tomatoes
3 1/2 cups drained canned kidney beans
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups cornmeal
2 tablespoons flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup butter milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup coarsely grated Cheddar cheese
2 cups sour cream
1 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • To prepare chili, heat olive oil over medium-low heat in a deep, wide pan with a lid. Add onions, garlic and bell peppers, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in red pepper flakes, coriander, cumin and cardamom pods. Stir in lentils.
  • Add chopped tomatoes, kidney beans, ketchup, tomato paste, cocoa and 3 cups water. Stir well. Cover, and simmer, stirring frequently, until mixture is thickened and beans are tender, about 45 minutes. Chili can be made ahead to this point and topping added later. (In that case, cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 days, bringing to room temperature before proceeding.)
  • For corn bread topping, heat oven to 425 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine salt, cornmeal, flour, baking powder and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, honey and oil. Pour liquid ingredients into dry; stir until combined.
  • Pour chili into a baking dish 13 by 9 by 3 inches. Spread corn bread topping evenly over chili, and sprinkle cheese on topping. Bake until topping has risen and turned golden brown, about 25 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, and let chili stand about 5 minutes. To serve, cut into squares, and pass sour cream and cilantro at the table.

Vegetarian Skillet Chili Topped with Cornbread image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound (about 4 cups) store-bought diced butternut squash, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 tablespoons chili powder, or to taste
2 teaspoons ground cumin
3 cups low-sodium vegetable stock
Two 14.5-ounce cans diced tomatoes with chiles, drained
One 14.5-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoons sugar
5 ounces (about 6 cups lightly packed) baby spinach
3/4 cup fine cornmeal
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons sugar
Kosher salt
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup sour cream, plus more for serving
1 large egg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar (about 3 ounces)
Pickled jalapenos, for serving

Steps:

  • For the chili: Heat the oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the squash and a pinch of salt and black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender and browned in spots, about 8 minutes. Remove the squash from the pan and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft, about 8 minutes. Add the chili powder (use less if you like milder chili) and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the vegetable stock, tomatoes, beans, sugar and cooked squash and bring to a simmer. Cook until all of the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened, about 30 minutes. (If the liquid reduces to less than three-quarters of the way up the sides of the squash, stir in a little water.) Stir in the baby spinach by the handful until all is incorporated and wilted.
  • For the cornbread topping: Meanwhile, position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Whisk the milk, sour cream and egg together in another bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until well combined. Stir in the melted butter and Cheddar. Drop spoonfuls of the batter on top of the chili, leaving space in between. (The batter will not completely cover the chili.)
  • Bake until the cornbread is golden brown and springs back when touched and the chili is hot and bubbly, about 18 minutes. Serve with more sour cream and pickled jalapenos.

Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure that all the ingredients are incorporated.
  • Use a tablespoon or ice cream scoop to dollop the cornbread mixture over the top of the chili in the skillet. Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the cornbread is golden brown on top, 25 to 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans for a more complex flavor and texture. Try using a combination of black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Chili is a versatile dish that can handle a variety of flavors. Try adding cumin, chili powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper to taste.
  • If you want a thicker chili, mash some of the beans with a fork or potato masher. This will also help to release their flavor.
  • Serve chili with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
  • For the cornbread topping, be sure to use self-rising cornmeal. This will help the bread to rise properly.
