Now that it’s the fall season, it’s time to make some chili!  This will be great to have waiting for you in your fridge after a long day.  It’s delicious right out of the pot and most definitely better the next day as it has had a chance to thicken.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 4-6 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 small or 1/2 large yellow onion, chopped

1 tbsp olive oil

dash of kosher salt and cracked pepper

2 tbsp tomato paste

114.5 oz cans fire roasted diced tomatoes

18 oz can tomato sauce

1/4 cup chili powder

2 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp paprika

2 tbsp garlic powder

1 tsp kosher salt

24 oz of your favorite Oktoberfest beer (I use Dog Fish’s Punkin Ale)

1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes

1/2 head cauliflower, cut into florets

1 bunch lacinato kale

215 oz cans of chickpeas

1 cup vegetable stock

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

1/8 cup maple syrup

kosher salt and cracked pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat a large dutch oven or stew pot over medium-high heat.  Add 1 tbsp olive oil along with onions.  Sauté for a few minutes or until they become slightly translucent.  Stir in tomato paste and let it cook for a minute or until it begins to smell sweet and aromatic.  It will stick to your spoon when you try to mix it into the onions.  Don’t panic.  Just work with it as you mash into the onions.  Add tomatoes and the next 6 ingredients and stir to combine.   Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes.

Add squash and cauliflower to pot and let simmer for 30 minutes until they become soft but not falling apart.  Then add beans, chopped kale, stock, nutmeg, cinnamon and maple syrup.  Season with salt and pepper.  Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 10 minutes.  Serve hot.
