Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 tablespoons butter

30 ounces canned white beans -- (2 cans) drained and rinsed

1 onion -- chopped

2 green apples -- unpeeled, cut in tiny chunks

3 garlic cloves -- minced

2 teaspoons chili powder

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

3 cups vegetable broth

1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt

To serve: -- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheese (optional)

 

Use a 5-quart slow cooker.

 

Put the butter into the stoneware insert. Dump in the beans. Add the onion and

apple. Add the garlic, chili powder, thyme, cumin, salt and pepper, and pour in

the broth. Stir in the yogurt.

 

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4 to 5 hours.

 

The chili is done when the onion has softened and the flavors have melded. Stir

in the cheddar cheese before serving, if using. These beans pair wonderfully

with cornbread.

 

Serves 6 to 8

 

AuthorNote: This creamy, lightish chili doesn't taste at all like there is fruit

in it, but it isn't so light that you walk away from the table hungry. You might

want to sprinkle some Tabasco on top, or add more chili powder to the grown-up

portions. This was mild enough for the kids to eat too.

 

ChupaNote: This was a little bland for me. Next time I'll add red pepper flakes

with the broth. Or add 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon Aleppo red

pepper with the black pepper.
