Nosh Time – Black Bean & Pumpkin Chili

Ingredients

• 1 TB Olive Oil
• 1 small Onion, diced
• 2 dried Red Chilies, cut into slivers (I used my kitchen shears)
• 4 cloves of Garlic, minced
• 2 tsp Chili Powder
• 1 1/4 tsp Cumin
• 1/2 ts Oregano
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp fresh cracked Black Pepper
• 1 1/2 C Chicken Broth
• 1 large can (28 oz) Diced Tomatoes (another item found in the back of the pantry)
• 3 C of black beans (cooked the previous day using my crockpot – if using canned, I’m guessing 2 cans, drained and rinsed)
• 1 can of Pumpkin Puree (or two cups of roasted pumpkin, pureed)
