Are you searching for a really good chili recipe for the Superbowl? Or do you just want a really good chili recipe?
Either way, you’ve come to the right place. This chili recipe has no beans and is LOADED with extra vegetables. If you are eating Paleo, it will fit right in. If you want to eat more vegetables, it will fit right in. If you want your taste buds to sing out loud, it will fit right in.
Additionally, I use San Marzano tomatoes, my favorite tomato in a can. Grown at the base of Mount Vesuvius in Italy, they are less seedy, less acidic and sweeter than other canned tomatoes. These tomatoes really set this chili apart from any I’ve ever tasted.
INGREDIENTS:
2 pounds ground beef or ground poultry
2 garlic cloves, chopped (or as much as you want)
2 Tablespoons oil
1 large onion, quartered*
3-4 medium sized carrots (or 2 small handfuls of baby carrots), cut into large chunks*
1 large stalk of celery, cut into large chunks*
2 Tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander or ground cumin (whatever blows your hair back!)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
3 large zucchini, diced
1 can (28 ounces) San Marzano peeled plum tomatoes
*If you do not have a food chopper, dice the onions, carrots and celery by hand.
METHOD:
1) Put the onions, carrots and celery in your food chopper and pulse about 6-8 times until finely diced.
2) Set aside for later
3) In a large pot set over medium heat, brown the ground meat and garlic.
4) Cook between 7 to 9 minutes until brown, breaking the meat up as you go.
5) Drain beef and set aside.
6) Add oil to pot and pour in onion, carrot and celery mix.
7) Give it a good stir.
8) Cook for about 5 minutes until onion becomes translucent.
9) Add the zucchini and cook for about 3 minutes more, stirring to combine.
10) Add the cooked beef and tomatoes.
11) Using your masher, mash the tomatoes with the beef and veggie mixture until they break down into chunks.
12) Stir well to combine.
13)Bring mixture to boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
14) Serve hot.
