Ingredients

  • 3 medium ancho chiles
  • 1 quart vegetable or chicken stock-in-a-box
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 8 portabella caps, wiped clean, gills scraped, chopped
  • 4 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 green or red chile, thinly sliced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • A scant palmful smoked paprika
  • A scant palmful cumin
  • A scant palmful coriander
  • Pinch ground cinnamon
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can fire-roasted diced or crushed tomatoes
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • A handful fresh cilantro or fresh parsley
  • Toasted pepitas or sunflower seeds for garnish, optional
  • Tortilla chips, 2 (1-ounce) bags or couple handfuls, optional

Directions

Stem and seed the ancho chiles and place in a pot with stock, bring the mixture to a boil then reduce the heat and keep warm.

Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat with 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 4 turns of the pan. Add the mushrooms to the hot oil and brown 12 to 15 minutes, then add the garlic, onions, chile, salt and black pepper and soften 5 to 6 minutes more, season with a spice mixture of paprika, cumin, coriander, and cinnamon.

Puree the reconstituted chiles and stock in a food processor. Add the chile stock mixture, beans, and tomatoes to the chili, cook 15 minutes until thickened, then turn off the heat, cool, cover and chill for make-ahead meal.

To reheat: Cover the chili and place over medium to medium-high heat, stirring frequently until the chili bubbles, then uncover and simmer until ready to serve.

Combine the avocado, sour cream, lime juice, cilantro, and salt in food processor and process into a smooth avocado-sour cream sauce for stirring into the chili. Serve the chili in shallow bowls and garnish with the avocado sauce, pepitas, if using, and a few tortilla chips, if using.

    This is delicious! I used half of a portion of the mushrooms & instead of a chili I used mild peppers in olive oil. I didn't have coriander but this is the best chili ive ever had! I had to use beef stock, otherwise it would have been completely vegetarian. I love meat & wasn't sure it would satisfy me, but it is a great recipe! If it's any indication how good food can be without meat I believe becoming a vegetarian will be way easier than I could have anticipated! So flavorful & must try!

    I love this chili! I had some spice rub mix which I used for the spices and just added a little cinnamon. That is such a nice extra flavor to have in this! I also added a red and yellow bell pepper to up the veggies in this dish. Nice and spicy. Goes well with brown rice on the side
