Beans, beans, beans....

This might belong on the Chili thread (I’d link to it, but so far haven’t found it sigh).

Mixed Bean and Vegetable Chili
Vegetable oil

  • 1-2 lbs vegan chorizo (prefer Upton’s Naturals)
  • 2-3 onions, diced
  • 1 head of garlic, cloves peeled and minced
  • 3+ Tbls ground cumin
  • 2+ Tbls chili powder (adjust depending on heat)
  • 3-4 bell peppers, diced (prefer red and orange)
  • 3 zucchini, diced
  • 2 small eggplant, diced
  • ~ 9 cups of cooked beans (canned or cooked from dried - black, kidney, pinto, etc.)
  • 1-2 lbs frozen corn kernels

In large stockpot sauté the chorizo in oil until cooked through.
Add diced onion, sauté until translucent, then add minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder and cook until very fragrant (couple of minutes).
Add remaining ingredients, stir well to incorporate, then add water to cover by an inch or two, cover pot with lid and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce heat to low simmer, skim if necessary, and allow to cook for … a while. Stir occasionally and add water as needed.

Good on night made, better after cooking and reheating. Thickens well.
