INSTRUCTIONS

Black Bean Chili

1.Heat the soaked peppers during a large saucepan until the oil is hot, then add the onions and garlic, then season. Cook over medium heat with the lid until the onions are soft.

2.Add dry spices and cook for a couple of minutes before adding chopped chilies. Cook for an additional 10 minutes with the lid or until the peppers are soft.

3.Stir within the tomato puree then add the Italian tomatoes - roughly crush during a skillet. Add balsamic vinegar, nuts, and 100 ml water. Cook on the lid for 30 to 40 minutes, adding a touch water here and there if it seems to dry out.

4.Just before serving, mix in bittersweet chocolate for a smoother texture. Serve with quinoa or rice and your garnishes like grated lettuce, mashed avocado and pico de gallo. I add a dollop of milk-free yogurt to balance the seasoning.
