Ingredients
Directions
Place a large heavy bottom pot over a medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. When the oil starts to shimmer it's time to add ingredients.
If you are including meat, add it and give it a nice sear all around to develop flavor. If it is unseasoned meat, add a few pinches of salt to season.
Add the onion, carrot and sweet peppers. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5-8 minutes.
Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
If you are using some miscellaneous veggies (everyone has something that's been hiding in the veggie bin, avoiding being cooked), this is the time to add them. A half inch dice is a good size for anything in this category. Sauté until these start to soften and gain some color.
Season to taste with salt.
Add the cumin, chili powder, tomato, beans, hominy/corn, and hot peppers.
If the chili is too thick, add some stock. It should be able to simmer, but not be too soupy.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour stirring occasionally.
Taste test and season with salt and black pepper.
To serve, fill a bowl with chili, sprinkle on some shredded cheese and fresh herbs, add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, and some fresh squeezed lime juice. Serve with tortilla chips and/or corn bread.
