Paleo Chili

Paleo Chili

Paleo (eating like our pre-agricultural revolution ancestors ate) chili is made without beans. In the west we typically include beans, but I think even non-paleo eaters will enjoy this deep smoky flavorful chili. This is best made a day ahead so the flavors can meld together. Serve with green onions and sour cream.

Ingredients

  • 1 dried chipotle pepper, stem removed
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 ½ teaspoons coconut oil
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pound ground bison

  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

Directions

Step 1
Soak chipotle pepper in boiling water until softened, about 10 minutes. Remove pepper from water and mince.

Step 2
Melt coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir garlic and minced chipotle into onion mixture and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
