Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 3 large onions, chopped
- 6 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1⁄4 cup chili powder
- 1⁄4 cup ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano leaves
- 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes (with puree)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup strong coffee
- 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed & drained
- 2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, rinsed & drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, rinsed & drained
- 1 roasted red pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 cup chicken stock (can substitute tomato juice or light beer)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until tender, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for another minute.
- Mix in chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Cook 1 minute.
- Mix in tomatoes, honey, and coffee. Add drained beans, red pepper, chicken stock, and remaining spices. Bring to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 60 minutes uncovered or until mixture thickens.
- If mixture consistency is too thin, use a potato masher or immersion blender to smash a portion of beans to thicken the chili.
- Optional: Top with nonfat sour cream, chopped avocado, grated low-fat cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, or jalapeño peppers.
