WHITE VEGETARIAN CHILI RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, poblanos and garlic; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add chili powder and cumin; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in beans, broth, green chiles and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very soft, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice. Serve with desired toppings.

Steps:

• Place poblanos directly over a gas flame, and cook, turning with tongs occasionally, until charred all over, about 8 minutes. (Or char under a broiler on a rimmed baking sheet.) Transfer to a bowl; cover with plastic wrap until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Using your hands, rub off charred skin, rinsing your hands frequently under cold running water. Pat poblanos dry. Slice poblanos in half, remove seeds and stems, and cut flesh into 1-inch pieces.
• Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high. Add onion and a pinch of salt; cook until translucent and browned around edges, about 7 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, chili powder, and coriander; cook until fragrant, 1 minute more.
• Add Parmesan rind, green chiles, poblanos, and 4 cups water. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until flavors meld, 15 to 20 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together cornmeal and 1 cup hot cooking liquid. Return to saucepan and stir to combine. Simmer until liquid thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together cilantro and sour cream. Set aside.
• Add beans and greens to saucepan; simmer until beans are heated through and greens are wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, with herbed sour cream, radishes, jalapenos, avocado, and a squeeze of lime.
