Tips

This makes a giant pot of chili! Cut the recipe in half if it is too much.


Directions

This recipe works great in a pressure cooker like instant pot. If you don't have an instant pot, stove cooking in a cast iron dutch oven is great too.

On medium heat, heat oil in the pan, and caramelize onions. When the onions are nearly caramelized, add the garlic and salt.

When garlic is softened, add the plantains and red bell peppers and sautee until warmed.

Add black beans and chickpeas, and stir.

Crush the whole tomatoes and add to the mixture, and stir.

Add any spices you desire, stir, and float marsala wine on top.

If instant pot: cook on manual, high heat for 30 minutes and natural release.

If dutch oven: cover and cook on low heat for 1 hour.
