HEARTWARMING CHILI



Heartwarming Chili image

A touch of baking cocoa gives this chili a rich flavor without adding sweetness. When I was growing up in the North, we served chili over rice. But after I married a Texan, I began serving it with chopped onions, shredded cheese and, of course, corn bread! -Audrey Byrne, Lillian, Texas

BLACK BEAN AND CHOCOLATE CHILI



Black Bean and Chocolate Chili image

I know the title seems somewhat bizarre, but the slight "hint" of semi-sweet chocolate gives this vegetarian chili a real depth of flavor. It reminds me somewhat of a sweet, yet spicy mole sauce. This recipe was adapted from one I found in the "Moosewood Restaurant Celebrates" cookbook.

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 -2 jalapeno chile, minced
1 tablespoon cumin
2 teaspoons oregano
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
1 1/2 cups chopped bell peppers (red and green are nice)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (optional)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/2 ounces semisweet chocolate (about 1/4 cup)
tofu sour cream or scallion, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until onions become soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the celery and chile, cover and cook for another five minutes more.
  • Reduce the heat and stir in spices, (cumin, oregano, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, chili powder, black pepper, salt) along with the bell peppers. Cover again and cook for another five minutes. Stir often to keep the spices from burning. If the pan gets too dry add a little liquid from the diced tomatoes, or some water.
  • Next, add the black beans, tomatoes, lime juice (if using) and soy sauce. Let the chili simmer on low for 5 to 10 minutes, until it thickens slightly and flavors combine.
  • Stir in the chocolate. When chocolate has melted, taste to adjust the salt and pepper. Serve with topping of your choice. I like a bit of vegan cheese, sour "cream" and scallions.
  • Chili can also makes a great filling to serve wrapped in flour tortillas, or in taco shells if you prefer.

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup dry Marsala wine
1 8-ounce container mascarpone cheese (about 1 cup), at room temperature
3/4 cup cold heavy cream
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1/2 cup boiling water
1 7-ounce package crisp ladyfingers (savoiardi)
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
Cocoa powder, for dusting

Steps:

  • Make the zabaglione: Whisk the egg yolks with 1/4 cup sugar in a medium heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water). Cook, whisking, until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. With the bowl still over the simmering water, gradually whisk in 1/3 cup Marsala and cook, whisking constantly, until the zabaglione is light, foamy and the mixture registers 170 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pan and let cool completely.
  • Put the mascarpone in a large bowl and fold in the zabaglione with a rubber spatula, then whisk until just smooth (do not overmix). Whisk the heavy cream in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form, then fold into the mascarpone mixture until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and the espresso powder in a shallow bowl; add the boiling water and stir until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup Marsala. One at a time, quickly dip half of the ladyfingers in the liquid, turning, until wet on both sides but not soggy (about 2 seconds per side); arrange in a single layer in a 9-inch square baking dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers and sprinkle with the chocolate. Repeat with the remaining ladyfingers and top with the remaining mascarpone mixture. Dust with cocoa powder. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
