Pumpkin Black Chili

Me and my good friend Laura love to make lunch for each other whenever we have a play date. It's a great way to eat things our families wouldn't normally eat. This week I made a Pumpkin Black Bean Chili. Here's the recipe. It's actually from Delicious Living

1 can pumpkin

2 cans black beans

1 c vegetable or chicken stock

1 yellow onion diced

4 cloves of garlic

1 chipotle in adobo from a can seeded and minced

1 t chili powder

2 t cumin

1 t oregano

1/2 t salt

1 regular sized can of diced tomatoes (I used fire roasted)

1 container plain greek yogurt

cilantro

avocado

lime

pumpkin seeds

First saute the minced onion in a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. After the onions are soft and browning add the garlic for a minute or two. Add all of your spices as well as the chipotle. This will not be spicy. I was worried with the chipotle and chili powder that it would be spicy. It wasn't. Next add your stock, tomatoes with their juices, black beans rinsed and drained, and pumpkin. Stir and let it cook on low to combine flavors.

Meanwhile mix your greek yogurt with half a limes juice. Mince up some cilantro. Dice up your avocado. Use all of these with the pumpkin seeds to top your chili. Wow! Get ready for flavor town. Super good chili.
