- Black Bean and Quinoa Chili Published January 25, 2011 MAKES 8 SERVINGS This hearty chili is so thick you can stand a spoon up in it. If you prefer a soupier chili, add a cup of vegetable broth when adding the reserved quinoa just before serving, allowing it to heat through. Ingredients 1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained 2 cups water 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 large white onion, diced 1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced 1 cup chopped celery 1 jalapeño chile, seeded and minced 2 medium tomatoes, cored and diced 1 cup carrots, diced 2 15.5-ounce cans black beans, drained and rinsed 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 tablespoon dried parsley 1 tablespoon dried oregano leaves 2 teaspoons ground cumin 1 to 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper 1 to 2 teaspoons salt 4 green onions, chopped (optional garnish) Instructions Combine quinoa and water in a small saucepan, cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Meanwhile, heat oil in a saucepan; add onion, bell pepper, celery and jalapeño. Sauté over medium heat until onion starts to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in fresh tomatoes and carrots, and sauté for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in beans, crushed tomatoes, chili powder, parsley, oregano, cumin and 1 teaspoon each black pepper and salt; cook about 25 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally. Just before serving, stir in reserved quinoa. Taste, and add additional 1 teaspoon each black pepper and salt, if needed. Ladle chili into bowls and top with green onions, if desired.
