I was on the Dr Oz site looking for something completely different when I stumbled across this recipe. I know there are a zillion chili recipes...this one looked a little different with the touch of lime. I haven't tried this yet, plan to soon because I think it looks tasty. I'm guessing at the cooking time, it looks fairly quick though...30 minutes simmering time is included in my guess. Update...had a chance to make this and I really like the recipe - it's very quick to throw together. The only thing I wanted to come back and adjust is the amount of chili powder - suggest starting with a tsp and working your way up from there, because chili powders vary so much. I happened to use chipotle and an entire tbsp would have been too much. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil |
2 cups diced onions, divided |
3/4 cup chopped celery |
3/4 cup chopped carrot |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
2 cups chopped bell peppers |
1/2-1 tablespoon chili powder (to taste) |
1 tablespoon ground cumin |
1 (28 ounce) can chopped tomatoes, with liquid |
3 tablespoons tomato paste |
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, with liquid |
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, with liquid |
1 (11 ounce) can whole kernel corn, undrained |
1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano |
1 1/2 tablespoons dried basil |
sea salt, to taste |
black pepper, to taste |
1 tablespoon lime juice |
1/2 cup chopped cilantro |
shredded soy cheese (optional) |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté 1-1/2 cups of the onion (reserve the other 1/2 cup) along with the celery and the carrots until soft.
2. Stir in the peppers, garlic, chili powder and cumin. Cook about 6 minutes.
3. Stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, beans, and corn. Season with oregano, basil, salt and pepper.
4. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Stir in lime juice and cilantro just before serving. Top with the reserved 1/2 cup of chopped onion and soy cheese, if using.
