This is a wonderfully delicious vegetarian chili!
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp. oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 large cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (15oz) black beans
- 1 can (15.5oz) hominy
- 1 can (14.5oz) diced tomatoes with chilies
- 1 cup winter squash
- 1 can (15oz) vegetable broth
- 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions:
- Heat oil and sauté onions and garlic about four minutes.
- Add the rest of the ingredients.
- Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Simmer 20 minutes.
- Season to taste with fresh ground pepper.
Serve with Tortilla chips and/or any of the usual chili toppings (cheese, sour cream, onion)
Note 1: Squash can be in chunks (fresh), a frozen brick of winter squash, or a can of pumpkin. The latter two will serve to thicken the chili.
Note 2: This meatless chili is a balanced, complete dish due to the use of beans and hominy.
