- 50m
Ingredients
- 1 red pepper
- 1 onion
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 4 green onions
- 1/4 c cilantro
- 1/2 lime
- 6 c cooked cannellini beans
- 1 tbsp. coarse sea salt, plus more to taste
- 1/2 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp. ground cumin
- 1 tbsp. Italian seasoning
- 2 tsp. chili powder
- 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 1 qt vegetable stock
- 1 jalapeno, optional
- 3 tbsp. arrowroot powder
- 6 tbsp. filtered water
- 4 oz cheddar cheese
- 1 1/2 c frozen corn
Instructions
- Chop the peppers (removing the seeds) onion; mince the garlic.
- Over medium heat, add oil to a deep pot and add in the onion, pepper, and garlic. Saute for 3¬5 minutes to soften. Meanwhile, chop the green onions and cilantro and set aside. Juice the lime.
- Add the white beans and all of the seasonings and saute for another 2 minutes.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and stir thoroughly. Turn heat to high and bring to a boil while you prepare the thickener. Once it’s boiling, bring down to a simmer.
- Combine the arrowroot and cold water; mix well. Let it sit for one minute, then add to the pot and stir to combine. Once again, bring it to a boil for about 3 minutes to thicken the chili, then reduce it to a simmer for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove the chili from the heat, and stir in the lime juice, cilantro, and green onions, reserving about half of each for garnish.
- Adjust seasoning to taste. You can serve immediately, but chili always tastes better after it’s had a chance for the flavors to meld for at least a few hours.
