Does anyone have this month's Cooking Light issue? The cover chili looked great and I'd love

to have the recipe. I didn't see anything else in the index that caught my attention, so I didn't buy the whole issue (cheap-o that I am) but if anyone has the magazine, I'd love that chili!

 
Oh, yeah, I think one of those is it! Thanks, Lisa! REC: Mexican Black Bean Sausauge Chili

This looks so good to me! (Although I can't imagine I'll go to the trouble to make the sausauge, I'm thinking buy turkey sausage and then add a few spices...)

Mexican Black Bean Sausage Chili

You may need to thin the chili with water if you've made it ahead. Or combine the sausage ingredients in advance, and finish the chili later.


Sausage:
1 1/2 tablespoons Hungarian sweet paprika
2 tablespoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons dry red wine
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons ancho chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Dash of kosher salt
3/4 pound lean ground pork
3/4 pound ground turkey breast

Chili:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups diced onion (about 2 medium)
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
2 teaspoons dried oregano
3 canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, minced
4 (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained, divided
3 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth, divided
3 cups water
2 (14.5-ounce) cans no salt-added diced tomatoes, drained
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup very finely chopped cilantro, divided
Low-fat sour cream (optional)
Sliced green onions (optional)

To prepare sausage, combine first 12 ingredients in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
To prepare chili, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sausage mixture; cook 7 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Add onion, 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 tablespoon garlic, 2 teaspoons oregano, and chiles; cook 4 minutes or until onion is tender. Place 1 1/2 cups black beans and 1 cup broth in a food processor; process until smooth. Add puréed beans, remaining beans, remaining 2 cups broth, water, and tomatoes to pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, 45 minutes or until slightly thick. Stir in juice and cilantro. Ladle about 1 3/4 cups chili into each of 6 bowls. Garnish each serving with sour cream and sliced green onions, if desired.

Carianna, we just finished eating this. We loved it and especially...

DH. He said he is addicted. LOL. I also made the fontina beer batter bread to go along with it. Really good. It wasn't as thick as I would like so ended up cooking it longer to reduce. I made a note on the recipe to cut down on the water next time. Hope you enjoy.
