Prep Time: 40 Minutes
Cook Time: 1 1/2 Hours

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups dried kidney beans, soaked overnight in cold water
  • 2 1/4 cups dried navy beans, soaked overnight in cold water
  • 2 1/4 cups dried black beans, soaked overnight in cold water
  • 3 1/2 quarts water
  • 2 each bay leaf
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 3 pounds green bell peppers, roasted, peeled and seeded
  • 3 pounds red bell peppers, roasted, peeled and seeded
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3 cups diced yellow onion
  • 3 Tablespoons minced garlic
  • 3 Tablespoons chili powder
  • 3 Tablespoons dried oregano
  • 2 Tablespoons ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 7 cups peeled, seeded and diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 cup low sodium cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions

Directions

  1. Drain the beans and discard the soaking water. In a large pot over high heat, combine the beans, water and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, skimming frequently the scum that rises to the top. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the beans are tender but still firm, 60-70 minutes. When beans are nearly done cooking (about 2/3 finished) add 3/4 teaspoon salt. When beans are finished cooking, drain the cooking liquid and discard the bay leaves. Set aside.
  2. When the beans are cooked, coarsely chop the roasted bell peppers and set aside. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the yellow onion and sauté until soft and lightly golden, about 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic, chili powder, oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes, and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the bell peppers, cooked beans, tomatoes, and cilantro and cook until the tomatoes are heated through, 20 minutes.
  3. Ladle the chili into individual bowls and garnish each serving with 2 teaspoons of cheese and 1 teaspoon of green onions.
