Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the onion, bell pepper, and quinoa
- Peel and coarsely chop three-fourths of the onion [1 onion] for the chili. Finely chop enough of the remaining onion to measure ¼ cup [½ cup] for the mango salsa.
- Remove the stem, ribs, and seeds from the bell pepper; coarsely chop the pepper.
- Rinse the quinoa.
2
Start cooking the chili
In a medium sauce pot over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the coarsely chopped onion and bell pepper, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the spicy Jamaican jerk seasoning and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the quinoa, tomatoes, and 1 cup [2 cups] water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the quinoa is tender and the chili has thickened, 18 to 20 minutes. While the chili is cooking, prepare the mango salsa and the remaining chili ingredients.
3
Make the mango salsa
- Trim the ends from the mango; cut away the peel, then cut the flesh away from the pit into halves. Cut the fruit into ½-inch chunks.
- Juice the lime.
- Coarsely chop the cilantro.
In a medium bowl, stir together the mango, lime juice, cilantro, and finely chopped onion; season to taste with salt and pepper.
4
Prep the remaining chili ingredients; finish the chili
- Rinse the white beans.
- Grate or peel and finely chop enough ginger to measure 1 teaspoon [2 tsp].
To the pot with the chili, stir in the beans and ginger and cook until the beans are heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the chili to individual bowls, top with the mango salsa, and serve.
