Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 small yellow onions, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 500g chorizo sausage, removed from casings
  • ½ to 1 Tbsp chili powder, depending on your preference
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 24 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 14 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups vegetable stock (or water)
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced (about 4 cups)
  • Cilantro, to serve (optional)
  • Sour cream, to serve (optional)
  • Grainy bread, to serve (optional) (but not really optional)
Instructions
  1. In a large, heavy bottomed pot, sautee onions in oil until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add in garlic and sausage, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon. Cook, continuing to break up the meat, for about 8 minutes until sausage has mostly cooked through and resembles the texture of ground beef.
  3. Add in chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and stir until meat is coated.
  4. Add in tomatoes, black beans, vegetable stock, and sweet potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover, simmering for 30-40 minutes until chili has thickened and sweet potatoes are tender.
  5. Serve with cilantro, sour cream, and a slice of grainy bread, if desired.
