Homemade Vegetarian Chili



INGREDIENTS


  1. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  2. 1 medium red onion, chopped
  3. 1 large red bell pepper, chopped
  4. 2 medium carrots, chopped
  5. 2 ribs celery, chopped
  6. ½ teaspoon salt, divided
  7. 4 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
  8. 2 tablespoons chili powder
  9. 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  10. 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
  11. 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  12. 1 large can (28 ounces) or 2 small cans (15 ounces each) diced tomatoes, with their juices
  13. 2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, rinsed and drained
  14. 1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  15. 2 cups vegetable broth or water
  16. 1 bay leaf
  17. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnishing
  18. 1 to 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar or lime juice, to taste
  19. Garnishes: chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, tortilla chips, sour cream or crème fraîche, grated cheddar cheese, etc.



 INSTRUCTIONS


  • In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, carrot, celery and ¼ teaspoon of the salt. Stir to combine and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent, about 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika and oregano. Cook until fragrant while stirring constantly, about 1 minute.
  • Add the diced tomatoes and their juices, the drained black beans and pinto beans, vegetable broth and bay leaf. Stir to combine and let the mixture come to a simmer. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally and reducing heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer, for 30 minutes. Remove the chili from the heat.
  • For the best texture and flavor, transfer 1 ½ cups of the chili to a blender, making sure to get some of the liquid portion. Securely fasten the lid and blend until smooth (watch out for hot steam), then pour the blended mixture back into the pot. (Or, you can blend the chili briefly with an immersion blender, or mash the chili with a potato masher until it reaches a thicker, more chili-like consistency.)
  • Add the chopped cilantro, stir to blend, and then mix in the vinegar, to taste. Add salt to taste, too—I added ¼ teaspoon more at this point. Divide the mixture into individual bowls and serve with garnishes of your choice. This chili will keep well in the refrigerator for about 4 days or you can freeze it for longer-term storage.

THE BEST EVER GRILLED CHICKEN MARINADE

Gambar
Ingredients ½ cup oil ½ cup balsamic vinegar ¼ cup soy sauce ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce 1/8 cup lemon juice ¾ cup brown sugar 2 Tbsp fresh rosemary 2 tbsp Dijon mustard 1 tsp ground black pepper 2 tsp garlic powder 6 chicken breasts or 3.5 lb chicken Instructions Combine all ingredients in a large ziplock bag. Add chicken to the bag and place the closed ziplock bag in a large bowl and put in the fridge. (The bowl will keep it from making a huge mess in case the bag leaks) Marinade for at least 8 hours or overnight and grill! Enjoy! (I do not add any extra salt to my chicken marinade because salt will dry the chicken out. ALWAYS salt the chicken AFTER you grill it to ensure. It will need a good bit of salt after it is done) Source: https://www.auntbeesrecipes.com/2017/06/the-best-ever-grilled-chicken-marinade.html
