Smoky Chili Cobbler
- Chili
- 4 tablespoons Neutral oil, such as canola
- 1/2 Red onion, diced
- 1 Green bell pepper, diced
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Mole paste
- 1 Chipotle in adobo, chopped plus 1 Tablespoon adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Cumin, ground
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon Coriander, ground
- 1 Can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 Can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 Cans stewed tomatoes
- Salt, to taste (optional)
- Whole-Wheat Chive Cornbread
- 1 1/4 cups Stone-ground cornmeal
- 1 cup White whole wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
- 1/4 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 Large egg, beaten
- 1 cup Milk
- Mix cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, and chives in a large mixing bowl.
- Cut in your cold butter either with your fingers or a pastry cutter.
- Add egg and milk then mix just until combined. Set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 400F. Heat up a large cast iron or heavy bottomed skillet or braiser over medium heat. Add oil, onion and bell pepper. Saute for 3-4 minutes until the onions just begin to become translucent.
- Add in the garlic, mole paste, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, and all spices. Fry an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the tomatoes and their juices, as well as the black beans and red kidney beans. Stir everything together, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-6 minutes. Break up the tomatoes with the back of your spoon while they cook down.
- With a large spoon drop 6-7 mounds of the cornbread dough over the top of the chili. Place entire skillet into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Serve immediately. Customize as desired with cilantro, more chives, sour cream or my personal favorite, avocado!
