VEGETARIAN WHITE CHILI

Steps:

• Place poblanos directly over a gas flame, and cook, turning with tongs occasionally, until charred all over, about 8 minutes. (Or char under a broiler on a rimmed baking sheet.) Transfer to a bowl; cover with plastic wrap until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Using your hands, rub off charred skin, rinsing your hands frequently under cold running water. Pat poblanos dry. Slice poblanos in half, remove seeds and stems, and cut flesh into 1-inch pieces.
• Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high. Add onion and a pinch of salt; cook until translucent and browned around edges, about 7 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, chili powder, and coriander; cook until fragrant, 1 minute more.
• Add Parmesan rind, green chiles, poblanos, and 4 cups water. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until flavors meld, 15 to 20 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together cornmeal and 1 cup hot cooking liquid. Return to saucepan and stir to combine. Simmer until liquid thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together cilantro and sour cream. Set aside.
• Add beans and greens to saucepan; simmer until beans are heated through and greens are wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, with herbed sour cream, radishes, jalapenos, avocado, and a squeeze of lime.

20-MINUTE VEGETARIAN WHITE BEAN CHILI

Steps:

• Set a medium-to-large pot over low heat. Add the olive oil, onion, oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook the onion, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cumin. Cook, stirring frequently, for another minute.
• Add the broth, beans, chiles, cloves, and cayenne. Stir to combine. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 3-5 more minutes until thickened a tiny bit.
• Remove from heat. Run a potato masher or fork through 5-6 times just to smash a few of the beans and help thicken it all up. Squeeze the lime over the top and stir. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
• Serve with assorted toppings if desired. I'm partial to this vegan cashew sour cream - yum!
