SARASOTA'S BLACK BEAN CHORIZO CHILI

Sarasota's Black Bean Chorizo Chili image

My absolute favorite. Every time I serve this I get requests for the recipe. It is spicy, but you can easily adjust the seasoning to your liking. The chorizo adds a nice warm spicy flavor and creamy beans are the perfect mix. It makes a big pot, and has quite a few ingredients, but it is well worth it and it really isn't very hard. Now, I like to simmer it a good hour before serving, so I like to make this when I have a little time, and it is one of those dishes that is even better the next day. Serve this like any chili ... with a side of corn bread and topped with your favorites; avocado, salsa, black olives, sour cream and cheese are my favorites.

Ingredients

4 chorizo sausage links, casing removed and sauteed (Mexican is the soft chorizo, whereas Spanish chorizo is the hard cured chorizo, you want to use Mexi)
3 (15 ounce) cans black beans (2 drained and rinsed, 1 drained and not rinsed)
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans (drained and not rinsed)
1.5 (22 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup corn, thawed (frozen works great, but canned is just fine, I love white corn personally, but not necessary)
1 (15 ounce) can chicken broth
1 large sweet onion, chopped (if you like less onion, use a medium onion)
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green pepper, diced
2 celery ribs, diced (include the leaves, also chopped fine)
1 -2 jalapeno, chopped fine (seeds and ribs removed if you want it a bit milder, leave the ribs and seeds in if you want a bit mo)
1 -2 chipotle chile in adobo, minced fine and chopped, 1 teaspoon of the sauce (optional)
3 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
1 lime (1/2 juiced in the chili, 1/2 cut in wedges for a garnish)
1 teaspoon olive oil
salt
pepper

Steps:

Chorizo and Vegetables -- In a large pot, add the olive oil and bring to medium high heat. Add the chorizo and saute until golden brown. Reduce the heat to medium and add in the celery, onion, garlic, red and green peppers, jalapenos, chipotles and cook 4-5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Beans and Sauce -- Add the beans, tomatoes, chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, and oregano and mix well. Simmer of medium low to low heat for 1 our. After 30 minutes, check for seasoning (salt and pepper), and if you want a little more heat you could add a little chipotle sauce. But be careful - it is a subtle heat. Don't add too much.
Finish -- After an hour, it's time to enjoy. Finish by squeezing in 1/2 of the lime, cilantro and adding the corn. Cook just another couple of minutes to heat up the corn.
Serve -- I like the favorites. Served with diced avocado, salsa, cheese (pepper jack), black olives, sour cream and the lime wedges. Corn bread as always with chili - on the side or you can use some tortilla chips. Blue corn chips are great with this. ENJOY!

SPICY BLACK BEAN & CHORIZO CHILI

Spicy Black Bean & Chorizo Chili image

This was my first introduction to Chorizo sausage. When I make home-made chili, this is the recipe I use. Adapted from a recipe I got from some magazine years ago. Usually buy my chorizo, but have also made my own. I like that you don't have to be so exact when chopping the ingredients, since it's going to be pureed anyway.

SPICY BLACK BEAN AND SWEET POTATO CHILI

Spicy Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chili image

This thick, smoky vegan chili comes together in just under an hour, and most of that time is hands-off simmering. You can use any kind of sweet potato here - keep in mind that the orange or garnet "yam" you see at the grocery store is actually a sweet potato - but you could also switch it up and use any peeled sweet winter squash, like butternut or kabocha. The recipe calls for either coconut oil or vegetable oil. If you'd like a mild coconut flavor, which plays well with the orange juice, choose unrefined or virgin coconut oil; for a neutral flavor, choose refined coconut oil or any vegetable oil. Use one chipotle chile for a very mild chili, and four if you like yours very spicy. (Get the slow-cooker version of this recipe here.)

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1/4 cup coconut oil or vegetable oil
1 large yellow or red onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt and black pepper
6 garlic cloves, smashed and roughly chopped
2 packed tablespoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
3/4 cup orange juice
1 to 4 chipotles from a can of chipotles in adobo, finely chopped, plus 3 tablespoons adobo sauce
1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (4 to 5 small-medium or about 2 large), scrubbed and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, drained
1 (28-ounce) can crushed or diced tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted
Juice of 1 lime (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
1 (10-ounce) bag frozen corn
Sliced avocado and red onion, for topping

Steps:

In a large Dutch oven, warm the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring and adjusting the heat as needed to avoid burning, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the brown sugar, cumin, garlic and onion powders, and stir to combine. Add the orange juice and let it come to a simmer. Add the chipotles and adobo sauce, sweet potatoes, beans, tomatoes and lime juice. Season generously with black pepper and 2 teaspoons salt. Stir in 1 1/4 cups water and bring to a boil.
Once the chili comes to a boil, decrease the heat to low to maintain a simmer. Cover the pot and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
Just before serving, stir in the corn and let it warm through. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Top with avocado and red onion.
