Time 9h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon cumin seed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup barley
1 (10 ounce) can tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel or Hatch)
1 (6 ounce) can tomato juice

1 tablespoon chili powder
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, toast cumin seeds, stirring for about 2 minutes or until fragrant and they start to brown. Transfer to a mortar and pestle and grind. Set aside.
  • In the same skillet, heat oil over medium heat for 30 seconds or so. Add onions and cook, stirring until softened.
  • Stir in garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and reserved cumin. Stir for one minute.
  • Stir in barley.
  • Add tomatoes and tomato juice and bring to a boil.
  • Transfer mixture to crock pot and add vegetable broth, sweet potatoes and beans.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours (or high for 3-4 hours).
  • Mix chili powder and lime juice together in a cup and add to crockpot along with the jalapeno. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes.
  • Serve in bowls garnished with cilantro and I added non-fat sour cream to mine.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but I really enjoyed this chili. The sweetness of the potatoes was subtle and didn't overpower the other flavors.
