Ingredients

1 can black beans
1 can kidney beans
2 cans chicken or broth note: Progresso broth uses Green Peppers
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 small onion chopped
6 cloves of garlic diced
2 large carrots chopped
1 celery stalk chopped
1 tablespoon turmeric
1 tablespoon cumin
½ teaspoons ground clove
½ teaspoon coriander
salt & pepper to taste
1 pound meat see notes

Instructions

Saute veggies and meat in oil until onions and meat are slightly browned. Add all ingredients into a crockpot and cook on low 6-8 hours.

Notes

We mix it up with a different meat every time. Beef sauteed in bite size pieces, roasted chicken or pork work great. We have also used Venison and ground turkey. Use whatever you have handy.

A puree of beets, sweet potato and carrots, seasoned as you would a tomato sauce helps add to the main body of the broth, seasoned with layered vinegars (apple, rice, plum) for acidity. Additionally, I've found that blanched, oven-roasted beets... plus a smidge of sumac can really give a solid nod to the missing tomatoes. As a final step, 70+% cacao chocolate for richness... and roasted yerba mate leaf for depth. Refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld.

Hi Kristi, your chili recipe sounds delicious. What can you suggest as a substitute for beans? Some of our family members are allergic to all beans, It seems that many recipes do use beans.
Thank you, Ginny

  Hi Ginny,
  You can omit the beans altogether without substituting anything. To make it heartier, you could consider adding a cup of cooked quinoa, buckwheat, or rice. I haven't tested that at all but that is what I would try. I hope that helps!
