I know this combo is going to sound strange, but it was extremely good.
You'll have to adjust the hot to your taste (as I <3 hot stuff!)

Jamaican Jerk Vegan Chili
Yes, boys and girls, no meat in this dish!
INGREDIENTS:
1 t coconut oil
1 large garlic clove, chopped
1 medium onion, diced
5 diced peppers (I used 2 poblano, 2 sweet ancient reds and 1 green pepper)
1/2 habanero pepper, diced
1T cumin
3 smokey chipotles in adobe sauce
1T chili powder
2T honey
1/2 t sea salt
1/4 t cloves
2 cans organic diced tomatoes
2 cans organic black beans
2 cans organic pinto beans
*NOTE I used the 15 oz cans, organic, some of the brands add high fructose corn syrup, so beware.
The meat of 1/2 coconut, plus the milk
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
Pineapple
- Saute the garlic and onion in the coconut oil til browned.
- Add the Peppers and saute til soft
- Add the habanero***, cumin, chipotles, chili powder, honey sea salt, cloves and stir in thoroughly.
- Add the black beans, pinto beans and tomatoes
- Remove the milk from the coconut and add it to the mix
- In a food processor, grind up the coconut and add to the chili (this will give the chili some texture with the flavor)
- chop 1/2 bunch cilantro and stir in.
- Let simmer (it's better the next day as in all stews and soups!)
- When ready to serve, garnish with plenty of fresh pineapple. The Pineapple gives the heat from the peppers some sweet.
***Remember to add the habaneros pepper slowly to taste. I used 1/2 a large pepper, but others may not like it as hot. :)
