Hot and Smoky Black Bean Stew

Homemakers Best Tested

If you're in a rush, you can use canned black beans (drained and rinsed) in this Mediterranean-style stew. But freshly cooked beans have a much better texture and taste. Serve with brown rice or whole grain bread to make a protein-rich meal.

Ingredients

2 each sweet  green peppers and red peppers
1 tbsp  (15 mL)  vegetable oil
2 potatoes, peeled and cut in 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes
1 onion chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  each  ground cumin and salt
1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  ground cinnamon
1 can  (28 oz/796 mL) tomatoes
3 cups  (750 mL)  cooked black beans
2 chipotle peppers, minced
1 tbsp  (15 mL)  adobo sauce
1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  dried oregano
Coriander sprigs (optional)

Preparation

Halve and seed peppers. Place on baking sheet, skin side up; broil until blackened. Transfer to bowl; cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 15 minutes. Peel off skins; chop and set aside.

In Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat; fry potatoes, onion, garlic, cumin, salt and cinnamon until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add 1 cup (250 mL) water; cover and simmer, stirring, until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, drain tomatoes, reserving juice; cut into quarters. Add tomatoes and juice, beans, chipotles, adobo sauce, reserved peppers and any juices and oregano to pot; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until thickened, about 30 minutes. Garnish with coriander sprigs, if using.

Makes 4 servings.
