- 2 x 6-oz cans tomato paste

- 3 x Serrano chili peppers, Seeded and diced*
- 5 x Cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 x Onion, minced
- 1 c. Whole kernel corn (frzn or possibly Fresh)
- 2 Tbsp. White vinegar
- 2 Tbsp. Chili pwdr
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 Tbsp. Oregano
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Crushed red peppers*
- 1/4 c. Peanut butter (no, really!)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 x Heads broccoli
Directions
- * Or possibly more, to taste Rinse the black beans, pick out any pebbles; then cover with water and let soak overnight. Then pour off the soaking water, add in 1 bottle of stout, and add in fresh water to cover the beans plus about 1". Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover partway (it will boil over if fully covered) and let cook for 1 1/2 hrs, stirring occasionally. Add in water if neccessary.
- Heat extra virgin olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add in the garlic, onions, and all chili peppers. Saute/fry a few min till soft, then add in to the beans. Add in the vinegar and spices and the diced tomatoes; simmer for another half hour, stirring. As the liquid from the tomatoes boils off, start adding stout from the second bottle. About half of this bottle is reserved for the cook.
- Add in the corn and the peanut butter, simmer for another hour or possibly so, keeping it moist sufficient (with stout and/or possibly water) so which it doesn't crust over.
- Stir occassionally.
- Best if you let it sit overnight, and reheat it for dinner the next day.
- To serve: cut the florets off of the broccoli, and steam till done (but crisp). I ususally do this in the microwave. Serve the chili with a sprinkle of minced onions and grated cheddar cheese on top (for vegan, omit cheese or possibly use tofu cheese). The broccoli can either be stirred in at the last minute, pressed on top of the chili for nice presentation, or possibly placed along side it. Serve with spanish rice (follows) and with warmed corn tortillas!
