Anasazi And Black Bean Chili
- 1 1/4 cups dried Anasazi beans (about 1/2 pound)
- 1 1/4 cups dried black (turtle) beans (about 1/2 pound)
- Cooking spray
- 2 cups chopped onion
- 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped poblano pepper
- 2 teaspoons minced seeded serrano chile
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 3 (14.5-ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 1/3 cups chopped Spanish chorizo sausage (about 2 links)
- Fat-free sour cream (optional)
- Chopped onion (optional)
- Sort and wash Anasazi beans; place in a large bowl. Cover with water to 2 inches above beans. Repeat procedure with black beans. Cover and let stand 8 hours or overnight. Drain separately.
- Place Anasazi beans in a large saucepan; cover with water to 3 inches above beans. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 50 minutes or until tender. Drain. Repeat procedure with black beans.
- Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion and next 5 ingredients (through garlic); saute 6 minutes or until tender. Add beans, broth, and next 5 ingredients (through tomatoes); bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes. Stir in chorizo; simmer 15 minutes. Serve with sour cream and chopped onion, if desired.
- Beer note: A Mexican dark lager, like Negra Modelo ($8/6-pack), offers a heartiness that makes it ideal with chili. This beer's chocolate flavors are perfect with smoky beans, while a touch of caramel sweetness provides a balance for spicy sausage and chiles. -Jeffery Lindenmuth
