Best Chorizo Bean And Butternut Squash Chilli Recipes

SMOKY CHORIZO CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Crumble in the chorizo. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the chorizo with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 3 minutes. Add the red onion and bell peppers and cook until they begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, jalapeno, ancho powder, cumin, smoked paprika and oregano. Cook and stir to coat the meat and vegetables in the spices, about 1 minute.
• Add the tomatoes, beef broth and 2 cups water. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, then stir in the black beans and butternut squash. Simmer, uncovered, until the chili is thick and flavorful and the veggies are tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Serve the chili with bowls of the toppings on the side for passing at the table.

CHORIZO, ROASTED BUTTERNUT AND ZUCCHINI CHILI POT

Steps:

• Roast the bell pepper over a gas flame, turning with tongs, or broil until the skin is blackened. Transfer to a bowl, cover and let cool. Peel, seed and chop the pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Spread the butternut squash on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle lightly with EVOO, sprinkle with the nutmeg and cinnamon and season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender and browned at the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Keep the oven on.
• Meanwhile, combine the stock and sun-dried tomatoes in a small saucepan. Bring to a low simmer over medium heat and cook until very tender.
• Heat 1 tablespoon EVOO in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate. Add the zucchini to the pot and cook until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the onions and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes, then add the roasted peppers.
• Pour the sun-dried tomatoes and the cooking liquid into a food processor and add the Roasted Garlic Paste, cilantro, oregano and chipotle puree. Puree until smooth, then add the mixture to the chili and stir to combine. Add the beans, canned tomatoes, chorizo and roasted squash. Add enough water to thin the chili to the desired consistency.
• Melt the butter in a small pan. Coarsely crumble the muffins on a baking sheet, then drizzle with the melted butter and sprinkle with seafood seasoning. Bake until browned.
• Ladle the chili into shallow bowls and top with the Manchego cheese and crumbled muffins.
• The chili can be covered and refrigerated for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange the garlic in a cluster on a large piece of foil and drizzle with 1/4 cup EVOO. Wrap up the garlic in the foil to make a tightly sealed pouch. Roast until very tender, about 45 minutes. Let cool, then squeeze the garlic from the skins into a food processor. Add the remaining 3/4 cup EVOO and the honey and season with salt and pepper. Puree until smooth, then transfer to a small container. (Alternatively, you can mash the garlic paste with a fork instead of using a food processor.)

BLACK BEAN CHILI WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until soft and beginning to brown, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Add garlic; stir 1 minute. Sprinkle chili powder and coriander over; stir 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes with juice, beans, chipotles, and oregano. Add 10 cups water. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low, cover with lid slightly ajar, and simmer until beans are tender, stirring occasionally, about 2 hours (time will vary depending on freshness of beans). Season to taste with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper. DO AHEAD: Chili can be made up to 2 days ahead. Cool slightly. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Rewarm chili before continuing.
• Stir squash and bulgur into chili. Simmer uncovered over medium-low heat until squash and bulgur are tender, about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide chili among bowls. Serve with sour cream, cheese, red onion, cilantro, and pickled jalapeño rings.

SQUASH & CHORIZO STEW

Steps:

• Heat a large pan, add the chorizo, then cook over a high heat for 2 mins until it starts to release its red oil. Lift the chorizo out of the pan, then add the onion and fry for 5 mins until starting to soften.
• Tip in the passata, squash and chorizo, bring to the boil, then cover and cook for 15-20 mins until the squash is softened, but not broken up. If you need to, add a little water during cooking. Season to taste, then serve in bowls scattered with parsley.
