ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cumin
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can whole canned tomatoes, undrained (I use canned diced tomatoes)
- 1 1⁄2 cups cooked black beans, drained
- 1 cup corn kernel, drained
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground sage
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt, to taste
- 1⁄4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, to taste
- 1 cup diced carrot
- 1⁄3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
directions
- In a 3-quart pot, heat the oil over med-high heat.
- Add in bell peppers and garlic; cook, stirring, until vegetables are softened, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and cinnamon until absorbed.
- Add in the tomatoes, breaking them up with the back of a spoon.
- Add in the black beans, corn, water, sugar, sage, salt, and Tabasco.
- Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
- Stir in carrots and cilantro; cook, uncovered, 10 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender and stew is slightly thickened.
- *Adding the carrots near the end leaves them slightly crunchy. For softer carrots, add them when you add in the beans.
- Good served over cornbread.
