Was surfing, yes again! I was looking for some different bean dishes and this one caught my eye! American Dry Bean Board is where I found this - it is unlike any other White Chili and is great to make ahead and then serve the next day or week (freezes real well). Ingredients:
vegetable oil cooking spray |
1 cup onion, chopped |
3/4 teaspoon garlic, minced |
3/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh gingerroot |
1/2 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped |
