Sweet potato black bean chili with a secret ingredient: coffee.
It sounds weird, but tastes incredible. The coffee adds depth without making it taste like your morning brew, and a touch of honey balances the heat perfectly. Hearty, healthy, and surprisingly easy. One pot, 45 minutes, done.
Top it with cheese, pickled onions, or green onions and you've got a meal that tastes way more complex than the effort required.
1. Heat a large pot or pan over medium heat. Add olive oil, sweet potatoes, and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions become tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
2. Stir in black beans and tomatoes.
3. Add chili powder, garlic, cumin, and cayenne pepper.
4. Stir in coffee, honey, salt, and pepper.
5. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until sweet potatoes are tender, about 30 to 35 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes.
6. Serve with optional toppings.
Yield: 9 Servings, About 1 1/4 Cup Per Serving
