Black Bean Chili

Sauté in olive oil:

1 Onion, finely Diced
1 or 2 Green Peppers, finely diced  (I used a can of green chilies instead of fresh)

2 or 3 cloves Chopped Garlic, or more, or less.
2 tsp cumin

1 tsp coriander

1 tsp chili powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 or 2 tsp olive oil


1 28oz. Can of Diced Tomatoes
2 cans Black beans 
1 package turkey meat
Salt and Pepper to taste

- Heat the olive oil in a big enough pot to hold all the ingredients
- Saute the onions and the garlic over medium heat until they're soft and the onions are just starting to brown.  Add the turkey meat and saute until cooked through.
- Add the diced tomatoes, beans, and spices and let it simmer over low heat for about an hour, or until the chili has reached the desired thickness. 

Serve with cilantro, avocado, and coconut milk yogurt. 

Angus Burgers with Avocado an Aioli

I buy my beef at Costco.  It's organic and fresh and less expensive then beef at Trader Joe's--although you can just buy one pound there.  Generally, I'm cooking for one, so it's a little tough eating the same meal day after day.  So once I make something, it's good to freeze portions for the nights I don't feel like cooking.

Angus Burgers

Form beef into 1/4 pound patties--one package from Costco is one pound of beef.   Salt and pepper well.

Fry over medium heat.  Mother used to turn her beef patties once the juice began to collect on the top of the meat.  Let it cook until your preferred rareness or well-doneness.

Serve with sliced avocados (a very good fat for our bodies) and aioli sauce.

Enjoy!

PS  If you want to use a bun, try local bakeries for gluten free buns--or look in the freezer case at your local grocers.  Trader Joes sells rice tortillas.  Fred Meyers has gluten free breads in their freezer case in the health food section.  I like Avenue Bread's GF buns and bread--although they do have dairy in them.
