Vegevore Recipe

Chili with Chicken and Chocolate

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried coriander
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon smoky ancho chile          sauce (Mexican Salsita sauce)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cooked skinless chicken breasts, chopped
1 cup chicken stock
15 ounces crushed tomatoes
1 can kidney beans, rinsed
1 ounce bittersweet chocolate
1 cup cashews, optional

1. In a large heavy saucepan or Dutch oven cook onion in oil until softened. Add garlic and cook 1-2       minutes longer.
2. Add ancho chile sauce, coriander, paprika, chili powder and cinnamon. Add chicken and mix.
3. Stir in tomato paste, chicken stock, crushed tomatoes, and beans an simmer, covered, stirring               occasionally to avoid sticking. Cook approx. 15 min. until sauce is thickened. Add chocolate and         cashews. Serve with multi-grain bread. Serves 4.

Adding a hint of chocolate with the spices adds so much flavor that you will not notice that you have only used a minimal amount of chicken in this dish.

Chocolate quote of the day!


Crazy and amusing diet story of the week!

The Vision Diet:

A Japanese inventor is credited with the idea of a vision diet. The vision diet requires eaters to wear blue lens glasses so that their food appears a blue color, which apparently is unappetizing. It is based on the principle that foods in the red/yellow spectrum look the most appetizing, and thus should be disguised so that you won't find them appealing. This may be a main reason that some fast food chains use these colors in their logos.
