Quick Recipe: Limon Blanco Chili

by Lucky Red Hen on September 25, 2008

This recipe was our winner last fall at the church event. Honestly, I was surprised that a vegetarian dish would appeal to so many non-vegetarians! But it was as if nobody missed the meat! It’s absolutely delicious and filling! I’m not sure why I keep YELLING by adding an exclamation mark, but I guess I mean it!

Rumor (which might’ve started with me, so there’s no scientific evidence) has it that rinsing canned beans diminishes the gassy effect ;)

Limon Blanco Chili
by Lyn Nelson

1 medium onion, chopped
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 – 15 to 16 oz can hominy, rinsed and drained
1 – 15 to 16 oz can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 – 15 to 16 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
3 cups broth (veggie or chicken)
1/4 cup lime juice (imperative, don’t skip it)
2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (imperative, don’t skip this either)
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground black pepper

In a large saucepan cook onion in hot oil over medium heat for 3 minutes. Stir in hominy, beans, broth, lime juice, cilantro, cumin and pepper. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Serve topped with shredded cheese, green salsa and sour cream.

See how quick & easy that is?!?

It is the best thing that has happened to Chili since cheese–maybe. I LOVE IT!!! Tastes so fresh, and who doesn’t love pouring cans of stuff into a pot and getting a tasty meal?
