Instructions
You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.
In a large pan or pot over medium heat, add in the oil. Sauté the onion and pepper for about 5 minutes, add the garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Mix in the tomatoes and sauté for another 3 to 5 minutes.
Now add all remaining ingredients, increase the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes or longer, stirring occasionally. Add more water or vegetable broth if the chili gets too thick.
Recommended step: Pour about 1 to 1 1/2 cups of the chili into a different pot. Blend this part using an immersion blender until smooth. You can also blend it in a regular blender. Pour the blended chili back into the large pot and stir to combine,
Serve with rice, pasta, potatoes or flatbread. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
