Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced fine
- 2 cups onion, chopped small (about two medium-large onions)
- 1 cup red bell pepper, diced about 1/4 inch
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (15.5 ounce) can white beans (use cannellini beans or Great northern beans), drained and rinsed
- 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 cup water or vegetable broth
- 3 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/3 teaspoon cinnamon
Preparation:
Add the bell pepper and cook until soft, about 5 to 7 minutes. If the bottom of the pan begins to scorch, add a small amount of water.
Stir in the tomatoes, kidney beans, cannellini or Great Northern beans, corn, water, cumin, chili powder, curry powder, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 20 to 25 minutes.
Serve your homemade two-bean chili with sour cream, topped with grated cheese or, if you're eating low-fat or vegan, some fresh chopped scallions. This meatless chili is excellent over rice or with a hearty chunk of homemade cornbread dipped in.
