Black Bean Chili With Cilantro Food

BLACK BEAN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute the onion, red bell peppers, jalapeno, mushrooms, tomatoes and corn for 10 minutes or until the onions are translucent. Season with black pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Stir in the black beans, chicken or vegetable broth, and salt. Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to medium low. Remove 1 1/2 cups of the soup to food processor or blender; puree and stir the bean mixture back into the soup. Serve hot by itself or over rice.

BLACK BEAN CHILI WITH CILANTRO

• 1n 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven, heat sherry and oil over medium heat. Add onions; cook until softened. Add celery, carrot and bell pepper; cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

CUBAN BLACK BEANS WITH CILANTRO AND LIME

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a stockpot or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions and jalapeños for 4-5 minutes or until they turn translucent. Add the garlic and continue to cook for 30 seconds.
• Add the black beans, warm water, salt, cumin, and chili powder and bring to a boil. When boiling, reduce the heat so that it simmers. Allow to cook for 10-15 minutes or until most of the water evaporates leaving a thick sort of broth. At this point, if you'd like to thicken the beans a bit more you can remove about ½ - 1 cup of beans and mash them (using a potato masher or a wooden spoon) to make a thick sort of paste but this is optional. Add the beans back into the pot and stir. Top with fresh cilantro and lime juice stir to combine.

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until flavors blend and chili thickens, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Ladle chili into bowls. Pass chopped cilantro, sour cream, grated cheese, and green onions separately.

YES-YOU-CAN VEGAN BLACK BEAN CHILI

Steps:

• If using canned beans, drain and rinse. I mix it up sometimes and add other bean varieties. In this picture, I used black beans and red kidney beans.
• Next, defrost the frozen corn by placing in a colander and running warm water over it.
• Combine beans, corn, and salsa in a pot and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes to heat thoroughly. If you like it with a little more liquid, add veggie broth. I never add broth unless serving with cornbread. That's because I like to crumble the cornbread and let it soak up the seasoned juices.
• Top with cilantro and fresh lime juice. Serve warm and enjoy!
• To make this in a crockpot, simply add all ingredients to a large cooker after draining and rinsing canned beans. No need to run corn under warm water, because they will defrost in a slow cooker. Allow to cook on low for 1 hour.

SWEET POTATO BLACK BEAN CHILI

Steps:
