Ingredients
Chili:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 6 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 Jalapenos, sliced
- 1 can red kidney beans (400g)
- 1 can black beans (400g)
- 1 can corn (400g)
- 1 can cannellini/white beans (400g)
- 1 can chickpeas (400g)
- 2 cans diced tomato (800g)
- 1 can vegetable stock (400ml)
- 2 tbsp cumin powder
- 2 tbsp coriander powder
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- Salt to taste
- Guacamole to top
- Sour cream/coconut yoghurt, to garnish
- Cheese, to garnish
- Coriander, to garnish
Method
- On medium heat, add 2 tbsp of oil to a large pot and add the onions. Sautee for a couple of minutes and then crush 6 garlic cloves into the pot and add the Jalapenos.
- Sauté for a few minutes, till the onions are soft and have started to brown.
- Add the spices and mix. Let it cook for a minute. This will toast the spices and release all the flavour and aroma.
- Deglaze the pot with the tomatoes and then add in the beans. Mix well.
- Add the stock in. How much you add depends on how thick or soupy you want the chilli in.
- Cover and let it simmer on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes. In that time, the beans would have cooked down and the flavours would have come together nicely.
- After 10 to 15 minutes, take the lid off and see if you're happy with the consistency. I usually prefer my chilli thicker, so I will leave to cook uncovered for another 10 to 15 minutes, till the sauce has thickened up.
- Add salt to taste.
- Top with guacamole, cheese, sour cream and coriander. You can also use the chilli and serve it as nachos, as a burrito or as a cauliflower rice bowl.
- Enjoy!
