Three Bean Chile

 

 

Ingredients:

2 large (about 11 oz each) onions, coarsely chopped
1 large green bell peppers, coarsely chopped (may use organic seeded jalapeños)
2 stalks celery, small dice
3 cloves minced garlic
1/2 cup vegetable stock to prevent scorching
2 14.5 oz cans salt-free chopped tomatoes
4 tablespoons Southwestern Chili Powder
(This is a combination of spices, not the hot chili powder used in Indian food.)
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1½ teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
2 cups cooked pinto beans
2 cups cooked black turtle beans
2 cups cooked red beans
1 cup fresh or frozen organic corn kernels
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
fresh chopped cilantro for garnish

 

Method:

This makes a big pot of chile. This is a fantastic, relatively easy dish to make for a crowd, such as a Cinco de Mayo party. It freezes well and is always handy to have on hand for unexpected guests. This is one of those dishes which only get better with time. You may, of course, reduce the recipe to suit your immediate needs.
 
Prep: 10 minutes
Peel and chop onions and mince garlic. Wash and chop celery and peppers. Open cans of tomatoes and measure spices into a small bowl.
 
Cook: 20-30 minutes
In a large saucepan or stock pan with a lid, saute onions, celery and peppers until soft and the onions are translucent. Add minced garlic and sauté another two minutes. Stir in chili seasoning, cumin, and coriander until well combined. Fold in chopped tomatoes. Add the beans, with their liquids, and cook covered on medium heat for 20-30 minutes. Add salt to taste. Garnish with chopped cilantro and freshly chopped red onion.
Serve hot.
