Directions
Black Bean and Chocolate Chili, I know the title seems somewhat bizarre, but the slight hint of semi-sweet chocolate gives this vegetarian chili a real depth of flavor It reminds me somewhat of a sweet, yet spicy mole sauce This recipe was adapted from one I found in the Moosewood Restaurant Celebrates cookbook , Yesssss!!!!! Yummmmmmm!!! Works as meaty chili as well!! I wasn’t sure and got nervous it would be too thick, but it was delicious Did not do celery I added: -1lb ground turkey and -1lb ground beef -Rotel with green chilis instead of diced tomato because I didn’t have nor want jalapeos -I also moved to crockpot on low for maybe 2-4 hours? Got juicier as it simmered Served with Enhanced Jiffy Corn Muffins recipe (made as bread loaf, not Muffins) Served over Fritos and with sour cream YUM Not very soupy; thick chili KEEPER!!!!

Reduce the Heat and Stir in Spices, (cumin, Oregano, Cinnamon, Cloves, Coriander, Chili Powder, Black Pepper, Salt) Along With the Bell Peppers. Cover Again and Cook For Another Five Minutes. Stir Often to Keep the Spices from Burning. If the Pan Gets Too Dry Add a Little Liquid from the Diced Tomatoes, or Some Water. |

Stir in the Chocolate. When Chocolate Has Melted, Taste to Adjust the Salt and Pepper. Serve With Topping of Your Choice. I Like a Bit of Vegan Cheese, Sour "cream" and Scallions. |
