Smoky Chipotle Butternut And Sausage Chili Food

SMOKY CHIPOTLE BUTTERNUT AND SAUSAGE CHILI

Steps:

• Heat a dutch oven or large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a bowl and set aside. Pour grease out of dutch oven and return to stove.
• Add olive oil to dutch oven and heat over medium heat. Add onion, butternut and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until veggies begin to soften, about 6 minutes.
• Add chicken stock to pot to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Then add crushed and diced tomatoes, black and kidney beans, and spices. Return sausage to the pot.
• Stir everything to combine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes, until flavors are combined and squash is tender.

SMOKY SAUSAGE & BLACK BEAN CHILLI

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a large pan and cook the sausages for 12-15 mins over a medium heat until brown all over and cooked through. Remove to a plate.
• Drizzle the rest of the oil into the pan and cook the onion and peppers for 10 mins, over a low heat stirring often until all the veg has softened.
• Stir in the garlic, all the spices and the chipotle paste, if using, and cook for another minute. Add the tomatoes, a canful of water, the ketchup and some seasoning. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 mins half-covered with a lid or loosely covered with foil. Stir occasionally, topping up with water if the mixture starts to look too thick.
• Slice the cooked sausages into thick coins and return to the pan, then tip in the beans. Cook for another few minutes until heated through, then spoon into bowls and scatter with coriander leaves, if using, some grated cheese and a dollop of yogurt or soured cream. Serve with tortilla chips for scooping, as a filling for jacket potatoes, or over rice.
