Bonnies Cannellini Chili Food

TURKEY CHILI WITH CANNELLINI BEANS

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, puree the roasted chiles and cilantro until smooth. Set aside.
• In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, combine the olive oil, onion, garlic and salt. Cook until the onion is translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the turkey and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Add the flour, chili powder, cumin, black pepper and cayenne and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Deglaze the pot by adding the chicken stock and scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the reserved pureed chiles and cilantro. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer.
• Add the beans and simmer, partially covered, until the turkey is tender and the chili has thickened, about 1 hour. Remove from the heat, cover and keep warm until serving. Serve with toppings.

BONNIE'S CHILI RELLENOS RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Roast the peppers on the grill or over a gas flame charring the skins. You don't want to cook the chili just loosen the skin. Place the chilis in a plastic or paper bag and let sit for 20 minutes or so. Take a paper towel and rub the chard skin from the chilis. Make a slit lengthwise in the chili and remove the seeds. I like to leave the stem on for the presentation. Lay the chilis out on paper towels and blot excess moisture off. Depending on the size of the chilis you will want to cut 4 logs cheese about 1/2" x 1/2" x 4" in size. Stuff each chili with one log and wrap the chili around it like a blanket. Seperate the eggs adding the whites to a mixing bowel and reserving the yokes. Note: If you have fresh home grown eggs the color of this dish is amazing. Beat the whites with a mixer until stiff. Stir yokes together and fold into the whites along with the flour and salt. Sprinkle the flour and salt over the top because you don't want to blend the mixture any more than you have to because the batter will loose it's volume. Heat a griddle to medium heat, you want the chilis to cook to golden brown and not burn. If the heat is too high they will not cook through. Spray the griddle with Pam, coat each chili in the batter, use your hands, and place on the griddle to cook. In a saucepan blend the salsa and cornstarch together and heat over medium heat until thickened. When your chilis are golden brown on both sides serve topped with salsa. I like to serve a simple salad of shredded iceberg lettuce and tomato slices, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil and cremma. Enjoy!

CHICKEN AND CANNELLINI BEAN CHILI

Steps:

• Place chicken in large bowl. Season liberally with pepper and salt. Toss with fennel seed and paprika. Sprinkle masa harina over chicken; toss to coat.
• Heat cast-iron pot or 6-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 cup olive oil; when it begins to smoke, add chicken, leaving excess masa harina in bowl. Spread chicken evenly so it covers bottom of pot in single layer. (Chicken may need to be cooked in batches to do this, adding more olive oil as necessary.)
• Cook chicken about 5 minutes on each side, turning with tongs, until browned. Remove from pot with slotted spoon to a plate, leaving drippings in pot.
• Reduce heat to medium; add a little more olive oil, the red onions and garlic to pot. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened. Stir in jalapeño chiles; cook about 2 minutes or until softened. Stir in chili powder. Stir in tomatoes. Heat to a simmer over medium heat, then stir in broth and cooked chicken. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered about 45 minutes or until chicken is wonderfully tender.
• Stir in beans, zucchini and bell pepper. Heat to a simmer over medium-low heat; cook 10 to 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Serve immediately, or cool and store in refrigerator up to 3 days. To serve, sprinkle with grated cheese, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with scallions.

TURKEY AND CANNELLINI BEAN CHILI

Steps:

• In 4-quart Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook turkey and cumin in oil 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until turkey is no longer pink; drain. Remove turkey; set aside.
• Add onion and poblano chile to Dutch oven; cook over medium heat 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds.
• Mash 1 can of the beans with potato masher; add mashed beans and remaining can of beans to Dutch oven. Stir in turkey, broth, green chiles, salt and pepper.

TUSCAN CANNELLINI BEANS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Add pancetta; cook and stir until browned, about 3 minutes.
• Remove pancetta but leave grease in the pot. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Saute until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Pour in white wine and bring to a boil while scraping up any browned bits from the pot with a wooden spoon. Boil until reduced by half, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Add in cannellini beans, chicken stock, Parmesan cheese, cream, rosemary, oregano, red pepper flakes, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring every so often to avoid burning, until the cheese and starch in the beans have thickened the liquid to a sauce-like consistency, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

BONNIE'S CANNELLINI CHILI

Steps:

• Chop the meat put it in a large skillet with the olive oil over medium heat and saute until brown on both sides, set aside and put in the chopped vegetables and saute until half tender about 10 minutes then add the garlic, cook two minutes. Add the remaining dry seasonings and the salt and pepper, stir and cook for another minute.
• Add the tomatoes. Stir, and add the broth, stir again, cover and simmer until pork is tender. Add the drained and rinsed beans. To thicken: Whisk the cornstarch in about 1/4 cup of cold water until smooth and add to the soup, simmer another ten minutes, top with cilantro and cheese and serve.
• Cook's Tip: You can cook this in the crockpot after you have sauteed the vegetables and added the seasonings. Just transfer it to the crockpot and cook on low for 2 or 3 hours. If you use cooked leftover pork, just skip the meat browning step, and add the cooked pork to the vegetables after they have sauteed and stir it in.
