Background Story:
This is something my girlfriend makes a lot, and I don’t always eat vegan, but when she cooks it it’s awesome.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 29 oz canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 6 oz tomato paste
- 32 oz vegetable stock
- 1 onion peeled and diced
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 sweet potato peeled and cut into bite sized chunks
- 1 cup quinoa
- salt and pepper to taste
- avocado and cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Heat the oil in a large heavy soup pot over medium low heat
- Add onions, and cook until soft and they start to turn brown (about 10 minutes)
- Add the garlic, and cook for about 2 minutes
- Add the tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, and oregano and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly
- Add the beans, stock, and potatoes, and season with salt and pepper
- Cook for about 5 minutes, then add the quinoa
- Continue cooking for about 15 minutes – 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until quinoa and potatoes are cooked and the chili has thickened. Add a bit of water if the chili becomes too thick for your liking
- Top with avocado and chopped cilantro if using
- Enjoy!
