Festive Black Bean Chili Preparation

This is a colorful black bean dish that requires little effort to make and is attractive enough to serve on a special occasion. Serve plain or on rice or polenta. If you have leftover chili, you could use it to make a variation of Black Bean Chilaquile. Just use leftover chili, tortillas, greens, and Cheddar cheese. The chili can replace the beans-and-corn layer in the chilaquile-and the salsa layer, too, since this chili is already spicy. *Prepared salsa gives this chili a finished flavor without a lot of cooking. We recommend a clean-, crisp-flavored salsa, such as La Victoria brand Casera Salsa or Pace brand Picante Sauce. Serves 4 to 6. Total time: 35 minutes In a covered soup pot, cook the onions and garlic in the water on high heat, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes. Add the cumin and coriander and stir on high heat for a minute. Stir in the salsa and bell peppers, lower the heat, cover, and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the black beans and tomatoes; simmer for 10 minutes. Add the corn and continue to cook for 10 minutes. Add salt and Tabasco to taste. Stir in the cilantro, if desired.

Coffee Angelfood Cake or Chocolate Cocoa Cake will complete a festive meal. Recipe by: Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites, page 161 Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
