	Chvytruk / All my dishes 1 year, 11 months ago Here in Texas, purists insist Chili contains no beans. So I concocted a three bean, no animal product variety to tweak 'em a little... My Buddhist parents love it... Prep:10m Cook:40m Servings:8	Chvytruk

Ingredients

2 TBSP Olive Oil

1/2 medium onion- diced

3 cloves garlic- minced or pressed (your preference)

3-4 chipotle peppers- stems removed, seeded, and minced (if using dry, rehydrate in a cup of warm water for 10-15 minutes before seeding and mincing)

2 tsp Chili Powder

1 can diced tomatoes +liquid

13 oz Lager (for those avoiding alcohol, St. Pauli Girl NA works quite well)

1 cup vegetable broth

1 can chick peas

1 can red kidney beans

1 can black beans

2 TBSP Ground Cumin

Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions

Heat oil in medium sauce pan over medium-low heat

Add onions and garlic: sweat until onions become clear- about 5 minutes

Stir in Chipotles and Chili Powder

add tomatoes, lager, and broth

Heat to simmer and stir occasionally for 10 minutes

Add beans and cumin

continue to simmer and stir an additional 10-30 minutes (until thickened. May take even longer depending on relative humidity, phase of the moon, etc.)

Salt and Pepper as needed

serve in a bowl with a sprinkle of Jack or Cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream (okay, I know the cheese and sour cream blow the whole vegan thing; but just use your favorite non-animal-based substitute; I know there are some great soy-based "cheeses" out there...)
