Asian Three-Bean Chili

Prep and Cook time: 30 minutes
 

Canned beans and tomatoes pair with pork and smoky black bean and garlic sauce to create an exotic and satisfying meal. Add a side dish of spinach leaves—quickly stir-fried in sesame oil—and Asian beer. For a fusion finish, serve rich almond cookies.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 to 1 1/4 pounds lean ground pork
About 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
3 fresh serrano or other hot green chilies (about 3 oz. total), stemmed, seeded, and minced
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon Chinese five spice
Salt
1 can (about 15 oz.) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (about 15 oz.) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (14 1/2 oz.) diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons prepared Asian black bean and garlic sauce

Instructions

Heat oil in a deep 12-inch frying pan (or 5- to 6-quart pan) over medium-high heat. When hot, add pork and cook, stirring often and breaking up meat into small pieces, until pork is browned, 5 to 7 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove pork to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain; set aside.

To pan, add 1/3 cup green onions, chilies, garlic, ginger, chili powder, five spice, and salt. Stir often until onions are soft and spices are fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes.
 
Return pork to pan along with 1 1/2 cups of water, the kidney beans, pinto beans, tomatoes, and black bean sauce. Cover and simmer until flavors are blended and mixture is hot, about 10 minutes. Ladle into bowls and top with additional sliced green onions, if desired.
