recently i saw a recipe for butternut squash chili with beef brisket. i happen to love both of those things so it peaked my interest. but i have been working on vegetarian options for my upcoming class so i opted to make a butternut squash chili without the meat or the beans. here's how it went
2 green peppers diced
1 red pepper diced
2 small onions diced
2 cloves garlic smashed
2 chipotle chilis in adobo minced
season liberally with salt and pepper
saute briefly until peppers start to soften
add 4-6 oz of beer and reduce until 1/2 the beer is gone
add
1 cup vegetarian stock
1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp bittersweet smoked paprika
1 28 oz can roasted tomatoes chopped
1 14 oz can diced tomatoes
simmer for 10 to 15 minutes
add 4 cups diced butternut squash
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp brown sugar
simmer over low heat until squash is tender
taste and reseason if necessary
it may need cumin, salt, chipotle, brown sugar, or cinnamon
before serving stir in chopped cilantro
