    Yellow Corn Chili with Bacon


    Source of Recipe


    D'Agostino, NYC

    Recipe Introduction


    A wholesome, great-tasting chili, this combines sweet yellow corn, dark red kidney beans, a touch of bacon, and chili seasonings.

    List of Ingredients




    2 slices bacon
    1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
    3 cups fresh or frozen yellow corn kernels
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 tablespoon chili powder
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
    1 15-ounce can dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
    3 cups water
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon black pepper
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

    Recipe



    Heat a dutch oven (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add bacon, cook until crisp, and transfer to paper towels to drain. Crumble and set aside. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings from dutch oven, add onion, and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Add corn, garlic, chili powder, and oregano. Cook for 4 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Add beans, water, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, pepper, and crumbled bacon. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes, uncovered. Stir in cumin and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and let stand, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Reheat over low heat before serving.


    SUGGESTED GARNISH: Cilantro leaves.

    Makes about 5 cups
