Most vegetarian chilies I have made so far has been too soupy, and the taste has often been just so.
This chili tastes great, much thanks to the sweet potato that balances the flavors great. Also, this dish has got a great texture, and served with rice it's an excellent combination of proteins.
Ingredients:
•2 cloves garlic, minced
•1 small onion, diced
•2 small sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
•2 medium carrots, sliced
•1/2 red bell pepper, chopped (optional)
•2 tbsp olive oil
•1 15 ounce can black beans
•1 15 ounce can diced tomatoes or tomato sauce
•1/2 cup vegetable broth
•1 tbsp chili powder
•1 tsp cumin
•1/2 tsp cayenne (or to taste)
•1/2 tsp garlic powder
•1/2 tsp salt
•1/4 tsp black pepper
Preparation:
Sautee onions and garlic in olive oil for a minute or two, then add sweet potatoes, carrots and bell pepper until onions are soft, about 5-6 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium low, and add remaining ingredients, stirring to combine well.
Simmer, partially covered and stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes, until flavors have mingled and vegetables are cooked.
Makes 5 servings of homemade black bean chili.
