Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oi
  • 1 large yellow onion, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 sticks celery, large dice
  • 1 red pepper, large dice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1, 4oz can green chilis, drained
  • 2, 15oz can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1, 15oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1, 24oz can crushed tomatoes

Directions
  1. Heat the oil in the Dutch Oven add the onion, sprinkle over the salt and cook on a medium/low heat until translucent.
  2. Add the celery, red pepper and garlic, cook for another 5 minutes or so.
  3. Sprinkle over the black pepper, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika and green chilis if using. Stir well to combine and smell the aroma!
  4. Pour in the red and black beans, tomatoes and stock. Bring to a boil, turn down to a simmer, partially cover the pot and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
  5. Stir in the frozen corn which will cook almost instantly in the heat of the dish.
