Categories     Dinner

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

olive oil, to taste
1 medium white onion, diced
kosher salt, to taste
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups parsnip, peeled and diced
3 cups butternut squash, peeled and diced
1 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
¼ teaspoon allspice
1 ½ teaspoons chipotle powder
28 oz cannellini bean, drained
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped, plus more for garnish
4 cups vegetable broth
shredded cheddar cheese, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, season with salt, and cook until the onion starts to sweat and become translucent, 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 2 minutes more.
  • Add the parsnips and butternut squash and season with salt, paprika, oregano, cumin, allspice, and chipotle powder. Stir to coat the vegetables with the spices. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the vegetables begin to soften.
  • Add the cannellini beans, cilantro, and vegetable broth. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, until the chili is thickened and the vegetables are cooked through.
  • Ladle the chili into bowls and top with cilantro and cheddar cheese.
  • Enjoy!

Time 2h20m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb ground beef or 1 lb ground turkey
1 large onion, chopped
2 crushed garlic cloves
1 (25 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (25 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (25 ounce) can red kidney beans
16 ounces beef broth
1 green bell pepper
3 celery ribs, chopped
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Brown ground beef adding onion and garlic towards the end of browning over medium heat.
  • Add everything else.
  • Let it cook and stew for at least an hour -- preferably longer.
  • I like to make it in the crockpot and let it cook all day long.
  • And it is even better the next day!

Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful spices, and high-quality meat will make a big difference in the taste of your chili.
  • Brown the meat: Browning the meat before adding it to the chili will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Sauté the vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables before adding them to the chili will help to caramelize them and bring out their sweetness.
  • Use a variety of beans: Using a variety of beans will add different textures and flavors to your chili.
  • Add spices to taste: Start with a basic chili recipe and then add spices to taste until you reach the desired flavor.
  • Let the chili simmer: Simmering the chili for at least 30 minutes will help to develop the flavors and make the chili more tender.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro are all popular toppings for chili.

Conclusion:
