Instructions
1
Beans:
2
Soak beans overnight in a bowl with water covering them by a few inches. The
next day, drain and rinse beans then transfer them to a pot, cover with water,
and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer and leave
undisturbed for an hour. If not yet cooked through at one hour, keep at a gentle
simmer and begin checking every 20-30 minutes, adding water as necessary and
tasting for doneness. Once done, drain, add a pinch of salt, and set aside.
Note: do not season the beans while cooking, this will toughen them and they
will not cook through.
3
Chili:
4
Heat dutch oven or large pot on medium-high heat, add olive oil, then sauté
onion, pepper, and garlic.
5
Add tomato paste, cumin, and chili powder to create a paste and sauté for
another minute.
6
Add vegetable stock, beans, and barley. Cook for 15 minutes.
7
Add tomatoes and cook for another 40 minutes until barley is tender. Add more
stock or water if barley absorbs all of the liquid too quickly.
8
Add cocoa powder, chipotle pepper, honey, and water (to loosen if necessary).
Add salt and pepper.
9
Add garnish (optional) and enjoy!

*Note: can use 2 cups of canned beans, rinsed and drained, in place of dried
beans if preferred
