26 Jan Vegan Peruano Bean Chili
’m a sucker for stews, especially when it’s cold and dreary outside. So when I found these little tiny adorable heirloom beans from the market and the farmer said he had just made some awesome refried beans with them, I was rreminded I hadn’t made chili in a hot minute and this recipe was born! I love cooking the beans directly in the chili so they soak up all the flavor goodness, but you can also sub the dried beans with drained and rinsed cooked canned beans, just use less water and cut the cook time to 30 minutes after you add them. You also don’t have to use Peruano (believe me, I’d never seen them before that day!) -use any dried bean variety your heart desires...
