Ok, It’s Winter Chili
January 31, 2016
So the temperature is going in the 50’s this coming week… and last week’s blizzard is receding steadily exposing the backyard. But it’s winter. Before Spring, I need more chili. I used Contrary Cook’s recipe.
Red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, onions, red and orange sweet peppers:
Add the cumin, chipotle, and garlic.
Add the tomato cans.
Add the beans: black, kidney, cannellini. Plus sweet corn. Sweet corn welcomes some balance to the heat. Add the chili powder. 
Top with scallions and avocado.
Best. Cornbread. Ever. Seriously, it won a Blue Ribbon at the Iowa State Fair. It’s even on Cook’s website, so you know it is for real. 
I put the remaining pepper and scallions from the chili in the batter… and increase the cook time a bit.
