I am going to try this recipe for Superbowl. It;s different so I hope it;s good.


Black Bean and Stout Chili
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Time: About 1¼ hours, largely unattended
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium yellow or red onions, chopped
3½ ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced
Salt and black pepper
2 or 3 canned chipotle chiles, chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pound tempeh
4 cups drained cooked black beans, cooking liquid reserved
One 26-ounce box or 28-ounce can chopped or diced tomatoes
One 12-ounces bottle or can stout
1 ounce dark chocolate, roughly chopped
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
Tortilla chips, grated cheddar cheese, sour cream, and lime wedges for serving (optional)

1. Put the oil in a large, deep pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until all their liquid has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes.

2. Add the chipotles, garlic, chili powder, cumin, coriander, and oregano, and cook, stirring, until they’re fragrant, about 2 minutes. Crumble the tempeh into the pot and stir to coat it with the spices, then add the beans, tomatoes, stout, and enough reserved bean cooking liquid or water to make the mixture stewlike but not watery.

3. Cover, raise the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat so the mixture simmers steadily, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tempeh and tomatoes have broken down, about 45 minutes. Add the chocolate and stir until it melts, then stir in the cilantro. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Garnish with more cilantro—along with tortilla chips, cheddar, sour cream, and lime wedges, if you like—and serve. (Store leftover chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.)
