Weeknight Bean Chili

American · 40m · 6 servings

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 yellow onion
• 4 clove garlic
• 1.8 lb canned tomatoes
• 4½ cups (800g) black beans
• 2 tbsp chili powder
• 2 tsp cumin
• 1 ½ tsp salt

Steps

1. Warm oil in a heavy pot. Cook the onions with salt until they take on color.
2. Stir in garlic, chili powder, and cumin for 30 seconds.
3. Add tomatoes and drained beans. Simmer, stirring now and then, until thick and the kitchen smells like dinner.
4. Taste. Add water if it is too thick, salt if it is flat. Rest 2 minutes and serve.

Better the next day. A square of dark chocolate is optional and surprisingly right.
