This is what we had for dinner tonight. We've had it a few times and every time it's super awesome.
ingredients:
1 tbsp canola oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 (15.5 oz) cans red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 (15.5 oz) cans fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 10 oz package frozen corn
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1 oz semi-sweet chocolate
directions:
heat the oil in a large saucepan over med-high heat. add the garlic, onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper; cook, stirring often, until veggies begin to soften (4-5 min). add the beans, tomatoes, corn, chili powder, cocoa powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring often to prevent scorching, until beginning to thicken slightly, about 15 minutes. remove from heat and add the chocolate, stirring until melted.
This was really good. The chocolate made it really interesting. Nothing can truly replace chili stew in our hearts (and stomachs) but this is definitely going into our recipe book. ;)
