It's been a little while since my last food entry, so here's a dish especially for anyone currently experiencing cold weather. It's super easy to make, and tastes absolutely fantastic.
You'll need:
-1 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes (we used fire roasted)
-1 6 oz can of tomato paste
-1 can of pinto beans
-1 can of Great Northern beans
-1 can of kidney beans
-1 1/2 c. vegetable broth
-1 1/2 bell peppers, chopped
-1 yellow onion, diced
-4 cloves of garlic, minced
-1 1/2 cup potatoes, cubed
-1/2 cup carrots, diced
-handful of grape tomatoes, quartered
-handful of sun-dried tomatoes
-Cayenne red pepper
-Chili Powder
-Black pepper
-Salt
1. Sautee the potatoes, half the onion, half the chopped bell pepper, and half the diced carrots in oil (safflower or olive) until caramelized.
2. Boil the vegetable broth, tomato paste and sun-dried tomatoes until the tomatoes are soft.
3. Put the crushed tomatoes, beans, and the remainder of the vegetables in a large cooking pot. When steps one and two are complete, add them to the mixture.
4. Season to taste. We like a lot of spice, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend our quantities unless you're in the same boat. We probably used a tbsp or two of chili powder, 1/2 tbsp or more of red pepper, a tsp or two of black pepper, and a 1/2 tsp or more of salt.
5. Simmer for 10-30 minutes.
6. Serve and enjoy! We had Garden of Eatin' Multi Grain chips with ours, plus apple cider. It was very tasty, and very satisfying. This recipe tends to go a long way, and even further if you periodically add more vegetable broth for "chili soup".
