Three sisters Chili

Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh garlic (crushed or chopped)
  • 2 medium to large zucchinis (courgettes, sliced and quartered (2 to 3 cups))
  • 1 cup 225g chopped mushrooms (5 or 6 mushrooms)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 can (400g kidney beans)
  • 1 can (400g black beans)
  • 1 can (400g corn kernels)
  • 1 can (400g tomato sauce)
  • 1 can (400g diced tomatoes)
  • 1/2 cup 115ml water

Instructions
 

  • Lightly film the bottom of a large pot with the oil. Add the onion and sauté on low to medium heat until the onion becomes slightly translucent and golden brown on the edges. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.
  • Add the chopped zucchini and mushrooms. Season with the salt, black pepper, cumin and cayenne. (If you like your chili extra mild, start with a smaller amount of cayenne and work your way up. One teaspoon of cayenne will give this chili “medium” heat).
  • Add all of the canned ingredients. Stir in the water and simmer on low heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring every 10 minutes or as needed to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot.
  • Taste to see if it’s as spicy as you like your chili—if not, adjust as needed.
