Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 -2 jalapeno chile, minced
1 tbsp cumin
2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch ground cloves
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground black pepper , to taste
1/2 tsp salt , to taste
1 1/2 cups chopped bell peppers (red and green are nice)
2 (14 1/2 oz) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14 1/2 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 tbsp fresh lime juice (optional)
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 1/2 oz semisweet chocolate (about 1/4 cup)
vegan cheddar cheese or tofu sour cream or scallion , for serving

Directions:

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until onions become soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
Add the celery and chile, cover and cook for another five minutes more.
Reduce the heat and stir in spices, (cumin, oregano, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, chili powder, black pepper, salt) along with the bell peppers. Cover again and cook for another five minutes. Stir often to keep the spices from burning. If the pan gets too dry add a little liquid from the diced tomatoes, or some water.
Next, add the black beans, tomatoes, lime juice (if using) and soy sauce. Let the chili simmer on low for 5 to 10 minutes, until it thickens slightly and flavors combine.
Stir in the chocolate. When chocolate has melted, taste to adjust the salt and pepper. Serve with topping of your choice. I like a bit of vegan cheese, sour cream and scallions.
Chili can also makes a great filling to serve wrapped in flour tortillas, or in taco shells if you prefer.
