White bean chili

White Bean Chili

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons ground cumin

1 tablespoon dried oregano

2 teaspoons chili powder or ground red pepper

3 tablespoons flour

2 (15-ounce cans) cannellini beans, rinsed & drained

1 bunch Swiss chard, stems removed, leaved chopped or torn roughly

1 bag frozen corn, thawed

4 cups vegetable stock

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 

Black pepper

Directions:

In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the salt, cumin, , oregano, and chili powder or ground red pepper.

Cook, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Stir the flour into the mixture. Add the beans, Swiss chard, corn, and vegetable stock. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 55 minutes until the liquid has reduced by about half and the chili has thickened. Add the red pepper flakes and simmer for another 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Enjoy!
