over low heat for 1½ to 2 hours,
stirring every now and then. Stir in
the black beans and corn meal, and
simmer uncovered for an additional
20 to 30 minutes.
Serving suggestion: Serve with
shredded Cheddar cheese, a dollop
of sour cream, chopped green
onions, and diced avocado. Warm
cornbread would be good on the
side.
Recipe Notes:
• Chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
are available in cans in the ethnic
foods section of most grocery
stores. A chipotle chile pepper is
a dried smoked jalapeño with a
unique smoky, yet sweet, somewhat
chocolatey flavor. Adobo sauce is
made from ground chives, vinegar
and herbs. The chipotle is a hot
chile, and a small amount goes a
long way. The flavour it provides
is distinctive and integral to this
recipe. Unused portions may be
frozen.
• Chili is actually best when made
a day ahead to allow the flavours
to blend and develop. Stop the
cooking process before adding the
beans and cornmeal. Cool, cover
and refrigerate. When cold, remove
visible fat that has congealed.
Reheat and continue as recipe
directs.
