Ingredients:

Serving

8 oz dried red kidney beans
8 oz extra lean ground beef (10- percent fat or less)
1 1/2 tsp salt
4 cups cold water
2 small onions, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (or 1 medium onion, 4 oz)
6 scallions, trimmed , keeping most of the green , and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (1 cup)
5 -6 garlic cloves, peeled, crushed, and chopped (1 tbsp)
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped (2 tsp)
1 (14 oz) can tomatoes , in sauce
1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
1 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tbsp chili powder
2 bay leaves
1/3 cup finely chopped cilantro stems
boiled rice
1/3 cup loose coarsely chopped cilantro leaf

Directions:

Sort through the beans, removing and discarding any damaged ones, and rinse in a sieve under cold water. Place the beans, beef, salt, and water in a stockpot, and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. (This will take about 10 minutes.) Reduce the heat to low, cover, and boil gently for 1 hour.
Add the onions, scallions, garlic, jalapeño, tomatoes (with sauce), thyme, cumin, chili powder, bay leaves, and cilantro stems. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to low, cover, and boil gently for an hour. (The mixture will still be somewhat soupy).
To serve, spoon the chili over the rice, and sprinkle the cilantro leaves on top.
