Un-Chili image

This is a chili (or is it?). It happens to be vegetarian (I was cooking for my sister), but a little meat could make this flavorful one-pot-wonder one of your cold-weather comfort food favorites.

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 (15 ounce) cans black beans
1 medium zucchini, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 medium carrots, grated
4 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon white pepper
3 teaspoons seasoning salt
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 bay leaf
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup water
1 tablespoon olive oil
sour cream (garnish)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet about 3 minutes or until it's "shiny" and hot.
  • Combine all the diced veggies except beans.
  • Put veggies into the heated skillet and cook over medium heat until onions are slightly brown, about five minutes.
  • In a heavy 2 quart saucepan or dutch oven, reduce the balsamic vinegar over medium heat until half remains and it becomes "syrupy".
  • To the vinegar add the black beans, vegetable mixture, and 1/2 cup of the water.
  • Simmer on medium low for 10-15 minutes, then incorperate the tomato paste and the rest of the water into the mixture. Stir until well combined.
  • Simmer another 10-15 mintes, stirring mixture often to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • You may choose to reseason at this time if you like a more intense flavor. Have a taste to see!
  • Serve with crusty baugettes, sour cream garnish, and a cold beer. Enjoy!
