RECIPE: WHITE BEAN ANDOUILLE CHILI
Ingredients
14 ounces andouille sausage, halved and sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, diced
1 jalapeño pepper, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
1 red pepper, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (28 oz) fire-roasted crushed tomatoes
Garnish options: shredded cheese, sour cream, scallions, hot sauce!
4 cups chicken broth
3 cans (15 oz. ea.) white beans
2 bay leaves
1/2 tablespoon cumin
1/2 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
01
Slice the andouille sausage, and sauté in a large Dutch oven until browned on all sides. Add a few table- spoons of water while cooking, if needed, to keep from burning. Once the sausage has browned, remove the slices from the pot.
02
Prepare the jalapeño, celery, and pepper by dicing. Sauté in the leftover sausage oil, add a tablespoon or two of olive oil, as needed. Cook and stir until the onions begin to soften. Add the garlic, and cook for 2 more minutes.
03
Add the fire-roasted tomatoes, chicken broth, beans, bay leaves, and spices (cumin, paprika, chili powder, Kosher salt, and black pepper) and bring to a simmer. Stir the chili occasionally, as needed. Simmer until the flavors meld together, about 30-40 minutes. Add the sausage back to the pot, stir, and serve piping hot.
04
Serve with an array of garnishes. We were especially excited to add the new hot sauce brand we are now carrying in store and online called Hot N Saucy. For those with a low heat tolerance, the Carrot N Chipotle Hot Sauce has the lowest heat. If you can handle some heat, we recommend the Sweet Potato N Habanero Hot Sauce. It has a 4 out of 5 heat rating. Their hottest sauce is the Collards N Ghost Hot Sauce, which we have yet mustered the confidence to try! If you try it, let us know what you think!
