CRAZY CANTINA CHILI
Source of Recipe
The Star Wars Cookbook, October 1998, Robin Davis
List of Ingredients
1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans
1 can (16 ounces) black beans
1 can (16 ounces) garbanzo beans
1 onion
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes with juice
1 cup tomato juice
salt and pepper to taste
shredded cheddar cheese
sour cream or plain yogurtRecipe
Open the cans of beans. Drain off the liquid from the cans into the
sink. Set the beans aside.
Put the onion on a cutting board. Carefully slice off the root end and
the stem end. Use your fingers to strip off the dry skin. Then cut the
onion in half from the top to the bottom. Hold an onion half cut side
down and thinly slice it crosswise. Now hold the slices together and cut
across them in the opposite direction. Be sure to keep your fingers
clear of the knife blade. Set aside.
Put the oil in a large saucepan. Set the pan on the stove and switch on
the heat to medium-high. When the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and
stir with the wooden spoon until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the chili powder and cayenne pepper and stir for 30 seconds.
Add the beans, the crushed tomatoes, and the tomato juice. Stir well.
Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve the chili with the cheese and sour cream on the side.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
