Protein

Chilis, soups, and stews have tons of extra protein potential, depending on your unique diet.

Use whatever protein you enjoy to fit your unique eating habits. Whether you prefer tofu, tempeh, or animal proteins, this chili is the perfect vessel, depending on your preference.

For more information about animal proteins, what to look for, and how to shop for animal proteins check out our article Guide to Eating Animal Protein. Also, check out our factory farming article as it relates to animal proteins.

The Recipe

Serves 6 - 8

Print

Ingredients

5, 15oz cans Cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

2 cup fresh or frozen corn

4 poblano peppers

1 jalapeno pepper

1 large onion, peeled and cut in half

8 cloves garlic, peeled

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon ground coriander

1-quart stock

1/2 cup cilantro, roughly chopped, plus more for garnishing

juice from 1 lime, plus more for garnishing

4 scallions, sliced for garnishing

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1

preheat oven to 450° and line a large rimmed baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil.

Arrange poblanos, jalapeno, onion, and garlic on the rimmed baking sheet and roast until vegetables begin to charre slightly and have softened, about 10 minutes.

Remove vegetables and allow them to cool slightly. Remove stems and seed from peppers and place all vegetables in a Vitamix blender. Blend vegetables until completely smooth and homogenous.

Step 2

In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil until shimmering. Add cumin and coriander, and cook until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Pour in blended vegetables and stir to incorporate.

Add stock, beans, and corn and bring to a simmer. Using a ladle, remove about 2 cups of chili, beans, and corn and add to Vitamix. Blend until smooth and return to the pot.

Step 3

Simmer chili on low heat until beans and corn are tender. Stir in lime, and cilantro and adjust seasoning to taste.

Serve with sliced scallions, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges.

Have Leftovers? Here’s What To Do With Them:
