I love chili with cornbread and thought why not combine the both into one pot? Great stovetop dish to make, especially when it's too hot to turn on the oven! Make it as spicy or as mild as you like. You can also sprinkle cheese on top and serve with sour cream but it's so good just as :-) Ingredients:
a few tablespoons of light olive oil |
1 medium sweet yellow onion, finely chopped |
1/2 red bell pepper & 1/2 green bell pepper, peeled, finely chopped |
1/2 a large can of muir glen fire roasted tomatoes, diced |
2 whole roasted green chiles, diced |
2 cans organic navy beans, undrained |
2 cans organic red beans, undrained |
seasonings (all to taste) |
kosher salt, black pepper, cumin, organic taco seasoning, chili powder, dried mexican oregano, red wine vinegar |
fresh corn and chive dumplings |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoon yellow cornmeal |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1 tablespoon granulated sugar |
2 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter |
1/2 cup corn kernels, fresh |
a few tablespoons snipped fresh chives |
half & half, as needed |
Directions:
1. In large dutch oven, saute onions and peppers in oil until soft. I like to season as I go so at this point you can add some seasonings. Add tomatoes and deglaze the pan, allowing tomatoes moisture to cook down a bit. Add chilis and the beans and more seasonings, tasting as you go. Cover and simmer for 2 hours.
2. Meanwhile make the dumplings:
3. Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar in medium bowl and mix well. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse meal. Using a fork, stir in corn kernels and chives, then add half and half and stir just until moistened; do not overmix.
4. Using 2 spoons, shape the dough into quenelles shape and gently drop into the simmering chili See Photo. Cover and cook until dumplings are puffed up and no longer doughy, about 15-20 minutes. See Photo
