I don’t know why I’ve waited so long to write a post about this chili. I’ve been serving it for years, usually over couscous or rice, and everyone loves it!
Last night though, I served the chili by itself and it was just as satisfying as always (minus the additional calories!).
I suppose a more appropriate title would be something more like, “black bean, red pepper, mushroom, and corn chili” but that just seemed like a ridiculously long name so…. black bean chili.
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
5 baby Bella mushrooms, chopped
3 Roma tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup corn
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
3/4 cups vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
Suggested toppings:
cheddar cheese, jalapeño slices, chopped green onions
In a medium pan, over medium-high heat, sauté onion, pepper, mushrooms, tomatoes, and corn for 3-5 minutes, or until vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
Using an immersion blender, puree approximately 1/4 – 1/2 the mixture.
Top with cheddar cheese, jalapeño slices, and chopped green onions.
