Questions about Chili with beans
How do you make chilli with beans on the hob?
Soften chopped onion in oil, stir in garlic and chilli powder, then add tomatoes and drained beans. Simmer gently for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally; add a splash of water if it gets too thick.
Can you add dried kidney beans straight to chilli?
No. Soak them, discard the soaking water, then boil the beans briskly in fresh water for at least 10 minutes before simmering until tender; slow cooking alone may not make raw kidney beans safe.
How can you make chilli with beans thicker?
Mash a few beans against the side of the pan and stir them back in, then simmer uncovered for a few minutes. This thickens the sauce without adding flour.
What goes well with chilli with beans?
Serve it with rice, a baked potato or cornbread. A spoonful of yoghurt or soured cream, grated cheese and chopped coriander make familiar toppings.
How long does chilli with beans keep in the fridge?
Cool it promptly, refrigerate in a covered container within two hours, and eat it within three to four days. Reheat until steaming hot throughout, stirring so the centre heats evenly.
Can you freeze chilli with beans?
Yes. Freeze it in meal-sized portions in airtight containers, leaving a little room for expansion; thaw in the fridge and reheat until steaming hot throughout.
Can you use different beans in chilli with beans?
Yes: kidney beans are classic, but black beans, pinto beans or cannellini beans work too. Drain and rinse tinned beans before adding them, and simmer them in the sauce for the last 10–15 minutes.
