Zesty Black Bean Chili

Ellbee’s Garlic Kitchen Box

This is the hearty, deeply red chili that makes a grilled-cheese sandwich feel like a proper plan. Zesty garlic leads the flavor, chipotle adds smoky depth and a touch of habanero oil lets you decide exactly how much heat the table can handle.

Kitchen tip: Chili tastes even better the next day. Cool it quickly, refrigerate overnight and reheat slowly with a splash of broth if it has thickened too much.
