Chili Sin Carne
Description
Chili Sin Carne is a vegetarian chili featuring a combination of beans—cannellini and kidney—alongside sweetcorn, onions, and bell peppers. The seasoning blend includes cumin, sweet paprika, oregano, black pepper, salt, and a touch of cayenne pepper to add subtle heat. Onions and garlic are first sautéed in oil to form a flavorful base, followed by the addition of spices and peppers to build layers of flavor.
Tomatoes are added to create a rich sauce that simmers all the ingredients, melding the flavors into a thick chili. The beans contribute a creamy texture while the sweetcorn adds slight crunch and sweetness. Cooking partially covered allows the chili to thicken while staying moist and tender. The spice level can be modified by reserving chili flakes for serving, especially if cooking for children.
This chili recipe pairs well with toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, or fresh herbs and can be served with grains, tortillas, or on its own as a satisfying vegetarian meal. The method is straightforward, making it a practical option for weeknight dinners or batch cooking.
Ingredients
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 garlic crushed, cloves
- 2 bell pepper chopped, any type
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper or chili flakes
- 2 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika sweet
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 100 g sweetcorn
- 400 g cannellini beans tinned
- 400 g Kidney Beans tinned
- 2 g tomato tinned, chopped
Instructions
- Heat some oil in a pan and add the onion finely chopped. When it starts to soften add pressed or finely chopped garlic and stir.
- Add the spice mix (leave the chili flakes for the very end if you are making this for kids as well), stir for 2 minutes and add the red pepper finely chopped. Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the tin tomatoes and the corn. If the tomatoes are quite acidic, you can add some sugar, but if you use sweeter tomatoes you shouldn't need to add any sugar. Stir and bring to simmer.
- Add the beans and partially cover the pan. Leave cooking for at least 20 minutes.
- Serve with your favourite toppings.
