Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound crimini mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon unrefined peanut oil or extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 large green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño pepper, with some seeds, minced
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons aged red wine vinegar
  • 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • one 14.5-ounce can crushed roasted tomatoes or crushed tomatoes
  • 1½ tablespoons chili powder
  • 1¼ teaspoons sea salt, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • two 15-ounce cans red kidney beans, drained
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. In two batches, add the mushrooms to a food processor. Cover and pulse until finely chopped, but not mushy. Alternatively, finely chop mushrooms using a chef’s knife.
  2. Heat the oil in a stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño and sauté until the mushrooms are cooked through and onion is softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and vinegar and sauté for 1 minute.
  3. Add the broth, tomatoes, chili powder, salt, and cinnamon and bring to a boil over high heat.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 12 minutes. Stir in the beans and 2 tablespoons of the cilantro and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until desired consistency, about 12 minutes. Adjust seasoning.
  5. Spoon chili into bowls, top with the remaining cilantro, and serve.
