Ingredients

  • 1 can of drained corn (15 ounces)
  • 1 can of drained pineapple chunks (8 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 1 package of sliced fresh mushrooms (4 ounces)
  • 1 chopped yellow bell pepper
  • 1 chopped carrot
  • 3 minced garlic cloves
  • 2 teaspoons of chili powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of dried oregano
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper
  • 3 cups of vegetable broth
  • 2 cans of undrained diced tomatoes (14.5 ounces each)
  • 1 can of pumpkin puree (15 ounces)
  • 1 can of rinsed and drained black beans (15 ounces)
  • 1 can of coconut milk (14 ounces)
  • ½ cup of freshly chopped cilantro
  • ¼ cup of shredded Cheddar cheese, or as needed

Step 1

Adjust your oven rack, positioning it roughly 6 inches away from the sizzling heat of the broiler, then ignite the broiler to preheat. Upon a baking sheet, arrange a delightful spread of corn kernels and juicy pineapple chunks, ready for their transformation in the oven's fiery embrace.

Step 2

Watch with anticipation as the corn and pineapple dance under the broiler's glow, turning a luscious golden hue in a quick 2 to 4 minutes. As they emerge, basking in their caramelized glory, set them aside to cool.

Step 3

In a skillet, let a glug of olive oil shimmer over a medium flame, a prelude to the medley of flavors to come. Toss in a symphony of diced onions, earthy mushrooms, sunny yellow bell pepper, crunchy carrots, pungent garlic, a sprinkle of chili powder, fragrant oregano, a dash of cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir and sauté until the vegetables soften and mingle their savory essences, a process that may take around 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 4

Now, unite the roasted corn-pineapple duo with the fragrant onion medley in a spacious pot. Pour in a stream of vegetable broth, add in diced tomatoes, velvety pumpkin puree, hearty black beans, a dollop of creamy coconut milk, and a shower of fresh cilantro. Let this aromatic concoction reach a bubbling crescendo before lowering the heat to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld for another 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 5

To crown each serving with a final touch of indulgence, grate a generous sprinkle of sharp Cheddar cheese over the steaming bowls of this nourishing delight.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Store in Portions : Divide the chili into individual servings and store them in airtight containers. This makes it easy to grab a quick lunch or dinner without having to defrost the entire batch.
  2. 2. Freeze in Ice Cube Trays : For a fun and practical twist, freeze leftover chili in ice cube trays. Pop out a few cubes to add a burst of flavor to soups, stews, or even marinades.
