In my home, when the
dad goes away the beans come out and play.
My mother and I love
beans, but dad is very anti. Like, I can’t serve them in anything. Ever.
As soon as we know he
will be away, Mom and I start plotting what bean dishes we will be having in
his absence.
Chili is always first
on our list.
I wanted to create a
chili that was hearty but also had a tangy sweetness about it that wasn’t quite
expected. A Springy chili, if there is such a thing.
Luckily for my taste
buds, Dad will be traveling a lot more due to landing his dream job.
Go Dad! And go beans!
You will need…
2 tablespoons
vegetable oil
1 ½ lb chicken apple
sausage, casings removed
1 ½ lb andouille
sausage, casings removed
2 medium onions, diced
1 red bell pepper,
diced
6 garlic cloves,
minced
3 tablespoons tomato
paste
2 tablespoon chili
powder
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon dried
oregano
2 28-ounce cans diced
tomatoes
2 16-ounce cans kidney
beans, drained
2 cups water
Salt to taste
In a large Dutch oven,
heat the oil until hot. Add in the sausage and cook over high heat, breaking it
up as it cooks. Cook until browned about 15 minutes.
Add in the garlic,
bell pepper and onions and season with salt. Cook down, stirring occasionally
until the onions are translucent. About 8 minutes.
Add in the tomato
paste and cook another 3 minutes.
Add in the chili
powder, paprika, cumin and oregano and cook for 1 more minute, stirring in all
the spices.
Then, add in the
tomatoes, beans and water.
Lower the heat just
until the chili is simmering slowly.
Cook down until
thickened, about 1 hour. Season with salt and serve hot with your favorite
chili garnishes.
